The Penmanship of Melanie

February 15, 2008 18:55 +0000 | Friends Melanie 4

I meant to post about this earlier, but the last few days have been kinda crazy. I just wanted to mention something kinda cool that happened the other day.

Our story begins roughly a week ago, as I was talking to Melanie on my phone about the package I'd just sent her for her birthday. I was complaining about how I seem to have misplaced most of the pens I'd acquired in Toronto and was left with only a crappy one which I was forced to use to address the package.

What I didn't know was that the following morning, she went to work, stole a bunch of those free swag pens from the office that you get at conventions and stuffed them into an envelope and mailed them my way. I received the package a couple days ago. In it, a bunch of really cool pens (including one that contains a series of mini adhesive flags!) and a note:

Now write me a letter

Melanie is awesome.

Sounds like you owe Mel a temporary reprieve from your intense dislike of snail mail.

You need pens to write a letter? I just use the keyboard and the series of tubes for that. ;)

Chad! I knew someone from Reinvent was reading my blog, but I had no idea that it was you!

I don't need pens for a letter really, but Melanie sends me snail-mail stuff way more than I respond in kind so it only seems fair. I'll *try* to get around to it sometime soon :-)
