Dearest Brother Neil,
I do not know what to write about today. I think I need a random topic, but it can not just be any topic. This random topic needs to be something I can write and write and write about. Hmm, oh!
Neil, your John Green caricature is a-mazing! Now you need to draw Hank too and send it to them, and the Nerd fighters will be, like, A-mazing fan art!, Neil!
What I like about your John Green caricature is that the drawing is cartoon-ish and realistic at the same time. A-mazing! So, Neil, I have got to ask: after drawing caricatures all week for amusement park amusees (see what I did there? I made up a word. Amusee: one who is amused. Ha) do you get tired of drawing caricatures?!?
I hope you do not get tired of drawing caricatures, because that would put a big krimp in your livelihood. So here’s to enjoying what you do!
Holy crap someone just threw a Molotov cocktail at Texas’s governor’s mansion. Can you say arson? I remember when I was in middle school someone tried to throw a Molotov cocktail at the high school, but I don’t think anything caught on fire. What an earth can get into a person’s mind to make them think that throwing a glass bottle filled with gasoline lit on fire at a brick wall would cause much damage. But then again he did get in mucho trouble, so maybe that’s all he was after. Attention. So some people commit arson, some people dye their hair three different colors at once and some people write web logs for attention.
Oh, hey Neil! I just remembered that this Thrusday is Jubilee Day: the longest one day street fair east of the Mississppi. Who can say that they grew up in a town with the longest one day street fair east of the Mississippi?!? Everyone in Mechanicsburg, that’s who! Geeze, I do not understand why people put so many qualifiers on things. For example there is this bridge across the Susquehanna just North of the city of Harrisburg that is the longest stone arched bridge east of the Mississippi! If it were not for the Mississippi the Harrisburg area would have NO achievements. Without so many qualifiers Jubliee Day would just be a day everyone can walk ON main street and that bridge would just be a lot of stone arches. What do you think Neil?
Don’t forget to be awesome
Love, Pam
It’s nice to read your writing. Helps cheer me up on a day that I’m seriously stuck in a funk about for no good reason. I’ll write and draw for you later tonight.
Arson: Dunno why that person did it. I was in the high school when that kid did it to Mechanicsburg. Although he was a moron and used a PLASTIC gallon jug.
I hope Jubilee day will work out for us. I’m scheduled to work all day. Trying to call other people to cover for me.
