If you want to make this gal happy, there is one thing you can do. Give me a photo of a dog emerging from a yarn basket. No matter how down in the dumpers [sic] I am, a dog emerging from a yarn basket makes me crack a smile every time. Particularly if the yarn is just spilling out on account of the displacement that occurs when the dog enters the basket and then some extra spilling that occurs when the dog emerges. It’s just so cute, it really is.

Most of the time, dogs don’t emerge from yarn baskets. Most of the time, when I open my yarn basket, I am simply greeted by yarn. Oftentimes, my boyfriend Glenn says, “You’re into that yarn basket again? Christ, it’s always in and out of that yarn basket.” But I know that even Glenn would find it adorable if a dog emerged from the basket. Even better, if upon opening the basket, the dog was revealed to be inside. I think that might be the cutest thing of all.

Anyway, if you’re ever on vacation, don’t send a postcard of a lake or a motel or some woods. Just send me a postcard depicting a dog emerging from a yarn basket. That makes me happiest of all.

CURIOUS LETTERS

Gentlemen,

My name is Fletcher M. Gregory, Jr. and I am 85 years old. I have long been an admirer of your Fluffy Marshes-Mallows; indeed, my man-servant Mr. Swift and I enjoy it atop our sundaes three or four days per week! However, as time has passed, I have noticed that your product becomes more and more difficult to locate in the grocery center and that other, obviously inferior products are now being allotted primer space. Now, this could be the work of the disgraceful he-she that manages my local grocery center (IT'S name is "Steve") but I have had other associates who have expressed similar concerns.

Therefore, I was hoping you could provide me with information on how you intend to rectify this matter as I am fearful that your fine product will eventually disappear forever from the shelves of my local grocery center-cum Sodom.

Yours faithfully,
Fletcher M. Gregory, Lankville
