MAILBAG

THIS EMAIL WAS RECEIVED FROM AN APPARANTLY FAITHFUL READER OF THE MATHERLY FAMILY BLOG. WE TOOK A PICTURE OF THE BACK OF HER HEAD TO CONCEAL HER IDENTITY AND WE HAVE Xed OUT ANY PART OF THE LETTER THAT MIGHT REVEAL WHO SHE REALLY IS. IN THE INTEREST OF FURTHER HIDING HER TRUE IDENTITY WE HAVE SPELLED HER NAME BACKWARDS.















DEAR GREAT AND POWERFUL BLOGMEISTER:

I love your stuff - even your nags are really funny. You don't seem to
understand that we live very boring lives here - we work, XXXXXXXXX works on the
boat, I take XXXXXX for walks and swim every day. I garden. I have lots of
company and cook a lot.

Love,

Lav Enworb-Ylrehtam

DEAR XXXXXX:

A picture of your boat would be great for the blog.

A picture of your grandchildren would be great for the blog.

A picture of your garden would be great for the blog.

A picture of the dog would be great for the blog.

A picture of the view from your porch would be great for the blog.

A picture of XXXXX's bellybutton lint would be great for the blog (Well, not exactly great but it WOULD be unusual).

My point is that this blog is all about family (cue the violins). It's about sunsets, first kisses, and long walks on the beach (okay, cut the violins, now I'm even
making myself sick).

Pictures are good but even just open letters to the family are great for the blog. That's why it is here. Got a hangnail you need to complain about, post it! Constipated? Well, you might want to keep that to yourself but news of family members is right up our ally. How are the newlyweds doing? How is XXXXXX? How's XXXXX (be nice!) Mom saw XXX on TV - could we get some background on that? What about Bekwee, Bequay, Buckwheat? Wherever it is you go down in the islands. Pics from there would put this blog on the map, baby!

No, I'm not letting you off that easily! I KNOW you take pictures! I KNOW you take digital pictures. It is easier than a Carolina cheerleader to upload pics to the blog.

FEEL MY WRATH. THE BLOGMEISTER HAS SPOKEN!!!!!

Sorry about that last part. The whole blogmeister thing has gone to my head. I'm going to BA (Blogmeisters Anonymous) but it doesn't seem to be helping. (Check out my posting on our last BA session at blogmeistersanonymous@blogspot.com).

Later,

BLOGMEISTER STEVEN
