Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that someone was asking me whether I knew whatever happened to Kristen, who I met in Virginia, and I have to say that I have no idea. She was going to go somewhere, and I never heard anything after that. I used to have a phone number for her but, anyway, if she no longer lives in Georgia anyway, it would be a waste of time to try to contact them that way. You could always try broadcasting your question on national television, rather than wait for ye old chain letter to dribble slowly around the globe.

Yes, I too read more than one of the Pollyanna books, and I liked them very much. I am not sure that I could ever be that perfect as to never ever say anything negative about anything, to always be positive about everything, but anyway, I liked the principles of Pollyanna even though I have fallen short of the Pollyanna pledge.

Yes, I vaguely remember that you were telling me that our high school classmate was actually some sort of cousin to Bill Gates, in some degree, which I suppose you would be more likely to know than myself, given that you were his chessmate in the library, as photographed in the yearbook. I had no idea these people were so well connected. I only remember that his book report in English class was very interesting. He reviewed a book by that Jewish author who also wrote in Yiddish, and I actually later read a few of those stories, not the whole book, to get an idea of what that was about, so that was interesting. So enough about that. Wasn't he also in economics class, sitting at the back of the room with Raymond and some other guys? I wouldn't be able to say whether he was at Stephanie's party or not.

Yes, that was sort of funny, when Mr. Kauffman was running for city mayor, and he came to the office to be interviewed, and he asked me in an aside wasn't this a conflict of interest, doesn't he represent some Calkins personage as their attorney, and I was shocked, and had to explain that no, whoever that Calkins may be, they are not related to me that I know of. Usually most U.S. phonebooks have a few Calkins, we are certainly not the only Calkins on the planet. Needless to say.

Yes, I vaguely remember that during my time at Regent, that what's-her-name (Kathy?) from Tallahassee was talking to me in the library, something about misogynism, but she was not very specific so I really cannot be expected to say exactly what she meant by that. How does she remember me? From where? 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I thought that was sort of weird, the way they were so afraid of my possible using something against them. As if. And how I would do that? And I had not even been thinking about that at all, much less doing something about that. But now there is an idea, from your lips directly to God's ears, broadcast on worldwide TV or video. And if somebody does use something against you, why blame me for everything under the sun, when I might be bending over backward to NOT use that. I might want to wash my hands of that, actually. I might want to leave those little brats washing their mouths out with soap, which is the usual disciplinary procedure in such cases. Who else would think of such a thing?  

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I cannot remember myself using the word "weird" to describe her, but whatever, they can say whatever they want and I never have any opportunity to correct all of these mistakes.
