Dear So and So

[Owlie]

Dear certain graduate program--
Since I know when your campus visit dates are, I think I can safely assume that I didn't make your "to interview" cut. Okay, I can accept that. It would rather nice, though, if you TOLD me that instead of leaving me to guess. I suppose mailing all of your rejection letters at one go would be easier, but still...

I'm sorry to hear that, Owlie.

Owlie, call them up and ask them. The worst that could happen is that they tell you that you didn't get in, which is what you already expect. But, there could be another explanation and it would be worth a call. At the very least, you will have a definitive answer and will be able to move on cleanly and swiftly.

Dear former university--
I understand that you don't want people who aren't presently associated with the university using your gym's equipment. But it means that, since I don't have a university ID, I can't see the friend I haven't seen for a long time. She's up here for a frisbee tournament.

Dear friend--
I'm sorry. I'm guessing you're leaving right after (can't blame you), or I'd have suggested we get dinner afterward.

Dear same friend's mom--
I like you as a person, I just don't agree with your political views. Stop asking what I think of X, Y, or Z, please.

[OakLeaf]

Aw, Owlie, sorry on both counts. Hugs to you.



Dear Jay Leno: You can have your chin back now. It didn't look that good on me.

Dear Mickey Mouse: You can have your hand back too. Honestly, I don't know how you get anything done at all.

Dear bike: Nice to ride you again.

[Catrin]

Owlie - sorry to read that and sending hugs/good thoughts your way.

[malkin]

Owlie--maybe that school has got you as a second round draft pick.
Hang in there.

Dear Afternoon: You're dragging; painfully so. All I can think about right now is my warm yoga studio and my 5:30 class. And you, boring afternoon, are standing in the way of that. Please move along a little faster. Thank you.

Dear Peeps on a cycling mailing list,

Those things that you use to stop your bike are called "brakes", NOT 'breaks'. This happens on a frequent basis and it is irritating - probably because I cannot understand how the two words can be confused with each other

So....what about peddles?

[Catrin]

So....what about peddles?

LOL, they do that sometimes too, but breaks for brakes seems to be more common on that particular list. I don't understand confusing pedals for peddles either

[OakLeaf]

I don't see the noun confused often, but I probably see "peddling" more often than "pedaling" when the latter is meant. Newspaper stories, wherever. No one knows how to spell any more, and if it passes their spell checker, it goes.
