Mail from the Planet of sad, wasn't at all.  The first thing I saw was this picture of an old man that I had sent David, with a muumuu on made from some art bits I sent him. Hilarious-and he does look smashing. The suspense was profound as he tells me a shopping list is inside--and boy was there! One of Heather Ryan's (who is Heather Ryan?) from Mokena, IL (how did David acquire this? Why does Heather need Miralax, activia, and large crossword puzzles?) and another a shopping list for Elfland. I'm not sure what experience has caused this, but David appears to hate elves. I know it's a strong word, but he despises them as well.  I see none of these items have been crossed off. I also see that Miralax is also needed from Elfland. I don't know what to make of it. I'm glad to know that trashpo is completely pareve non dairy.  I wonder what aisle the concentrated or reconstituted love is in? Near the candles? near the beer? or perhaps the diaper aisle?candy aisle?let's hope it's not in the discount section--slightly imperfect, dented, bruised, reduced.  I don't know what Runcible means and I'm too tired to look it up at the moment, but I'm glad they are not made of plastic. This elfland shopper appears to be quite concerned with health and the environment--except when it comes to elves. Gene Pitney's singing echoes all throughout Elfland. Was is live or Muzak?Is this grandma Linda's list? is that a little elf with a net below her threatening to do terrible elf things to her? Is this a generational thing in David's family? Have I used all question marks in this blog? That's because David's fantastic art always leaves me wanting more....more answers.

Carina, I think you know what I'm talking about. When Elves have their own supermarket and their own high performance motor oil...well, their own chamber of commerce cannot be far behind. Yes, the lab rat swap out thang went nowhere due to the influence of the powerful elf lobby. Thank you Angie and thank you Lisa for pointing out that detail that I missed.

Big duh on my part, I didn't realize I had sent you Heather Ryan's shopping list. Somehow she ended up shopping many miles away in Palatine, IL. David, I heard you campaigned to swap out lab rats with elves for medical testing

Thanks for the great blog, Diane. Heather Ryan's shopping list arrived in a package of choice tidbits from Diane Keys in Elgin, Illinois. You may know her? Anyway, I thought it deserved a mirror in Bizarro World so I made my own list. I think it's wise to leave the rest of the mysteries shrouded in Miralax. I do need to clear up the elf thing. I don't despise them. But when you get too many they become a health hazard. Controlled populations of elves. That's all I'm asking for.
