Portrait of a Boy, by Chaim Soutine, 1928
Father: Hi Chaim, nice to meet you.
Chaim: Hello, it’s nice to –
Boy: Father?
Father: Yes, please, one second, I’m talking to the artist.
Chaim: I will be painting your son today?
Father: Yes.
Chaim: Do you have any special requests?
Father: Make him look sassy. And like half his face is melting off.

Dear Ellen,
Recently I have gotten back into comic books. This is a pretty nerdy development, but wait … there’s more.
My friend and I don’t say we’re going to buy comics on some Wednesdays after work, we say we’re going to the LCS … Which is an acronym for Local Comic Shop.
Now to dig out my Robotech DVDs!!
Sincerely,

Dear Ellen,
I must admit – I am a bit of a pack rat. I have a hard time throwing things away, even when they serve no purpose to keep.
But, good news, I have recently discovered a use for my 2 old cell phones!
I’m going to go to a crowded street corner, say something trivial but cryptic into one of my old cell phones (“The zapatos are en route.”) and then throw the phone into the trash.
Just think of the imaginative thoughts I’ll inspire!
Sincerely,
