My Blog

Dear Mr Stephen Fry,

As you know, I will be turning 39 this year. I'm not ashamed of turning 39 even though I'm unmarried and childless and, therefore, will officially be considered an old maid soon. No matter. I'm having...

Dear Mr. Stephen Fry,

My, it has been a while since last we spoke. Well, I spoke and you didn't respond. But that is okay. I know you are frightfully busy and that you have those pesky pins in your arm. Anyway, I thought I...

Back from Cali - Holla!

I know I said I wasn't going to write again until Stephen Fry replied to my last entry but I'm beginning to think he's not reading this blog. Either that or the 10 pins currently placed in his arm hav...

I smell like I sound? Really?

I've been arranging my 20th high school class reunion (but then you know that don't you, dear reader) and I am trying to put together a little compilation CD. Without the help of Stephen Fry, I m...

Conversation on a balcony

E: You are reading Wodehouse at the beach? Me: Well, if you will look around you, you will find that this is actually a balcony within close proximity of the beach and not the beach proper. E: ...

Dear Mr. Stephen Fry, just a quick note...

to wish you a Happy Birthday! Best wishes for many more! I haven't heard from you concerning the CD for the class of 1987 (a mix tape!) yet but I know how busy your week and indeed your weekend must ...

Dear Mr. Stephen Fry, I understand Im missing...
