A New Mystery
Here's an email I just got,
"Dear literary dick (AIPD),
Regarding the Juy 3 edition of TLD(AIPD): I am sure I am not alone (nor the first letter writer) to wish you a speedy recovery of whatever it is that ails you. Has the diagnosis changed (and please pardon me if the question is too personal)?
Thinking about you physical predicament and your literary leanings I wondered to myself, "He must still be writing--has he had to switch from the keyboard to longhand, or is even that too painful?"
Then I thought, "I wonder if any other (famed) authors have been forced from the typewriter or keyboard to longhand for medical reasons and whether it has had any impact on their style?"
Which LD, is my question to you.
Yours truly,
James from Brooklyn, NY"

Two New Correspondences
In the past, I’ve only posted the emails I’ve received, so thought it’d be a nice variation to share this non-electronic piece of mail, which was sent to me by my friend Arlo, from Vancouver.
“Dear Mike,
How’s it going, buddy? I read on The Literary Dick that you’re having some wrist problems and I hope they’re feeling better.
Yesterday I took in the gay pride parade, and of course I thought of you. Hope you can make use of the enclosed gay paraphernalia. It was huge (much bigger than Montreal 2000) and almost wholesome at times – there were even kids in the parade. I think a lot of it can be attributed to the acceptance of gays in the mainstream media. But a pride parade wouldn’t be a pride parade without lots of leather and tanned scantily-clad muscular men and I saw them in great numbers. I even got to see some boobies.”
And speaking of my wrist problems, I was just emailed this, from Dr. Dean, frequent medical advisor to The Literary Dick,
“If you stopped choking the chicken, your wrists might hurt less!!”
