I'VE GOT MAIL!

It's been a little over a year since I last unpacked my snail mailbox in this space, and I'm not going to bother with the same exercise now, but I was just reminded of it. Because:

Every time I find myself about to say the name of Aruba-disappearer "Natalee Holloway" — which is not often but more than I'd prefer — I find myself struggling to find the precise words of her name. Why? I thought part of it was because the supposed culprit is (I believe) from Holland. But then, while looking through the mass of junk mail and correspondence for people who once lived in my apartment, I realized the main reason: one former resident I get too much mail for is named "Natalie Holland." So that should explain a minor mystery you were heretofore unaware of.

Confidential to "Brent Kaos": I have some of your recent bills and mailings from various fashion industry publications. But the rest I threw out.
