Who KNEW that 30 seconds after opening his dead tree letter to me that we’d be best buds forever! Such a delightful chap he is – wishing me well in all sorts of manners.
It gladdened my heart, it did, that I just had to respond:
From: “Skip” <Skip@granitegrok.com>
To: roebke@gctel.net

Subject: I am in receipt of your letter of March 19.
Dear Alan,
I just wished to thank you for putting a smile on my face and a chuckle in my voice all day long. Your stunning rhetorical skills are AMAZING; who would have thought such sentence framing could leap from your fingertips!
And thanks, of course, for your well wishes – they brightened my day.
Take care and may good fortune bless you in the future. May Informed TV followed the path blazed by MSNBC and CNN. Sorry, though, that your experimental TV station’s output won’t reach us here in the Live Free or Die State (which you so lovingly referred to in your missive) – it most likely would have been an unending source of amusement and gaffaws.
Kindest regards,

Oh Wait! I forget to show you his Letter! Well, first, here’s the envelope address of Mr. Alan:
So sweet of him to take the time to actually snail mail something to me! And here it is:
Sidenote: I did have to “blacken out” some of his words – while GraniteGrok has always tried to stay true to “Adult Themes but kid friendly”, My Roebke seems to have little to no scruples:
Now, I realized that:
- The name could have just been made up
- The person behind the Letter could have just used someone else’s name.
I found multiple instances for that person so it wasn’t just made up. However, the second option could still be in play. In that case, forget the MSNBC and CNN references….
