An Excerpt From A Letter to My Mother, circa 1974

"There's a guy I'd like to slice up and rub frankincese in the wounds. A real affronted carrot, a tunafish."

Some of those letters made for Really amusing reading. Going through some of her old correspondence was really interesting. I wonder if I'll feel the same way going through my own saved letters and email in 20 years.

Letters (and emails, to some extent) have the interesting qualities of being non-negotiable and indelible. That makes them the perfect vessels for the preservation of really bizarre feelings...
