Dear NBC,

Just got done watching the season finale of The Office. Wow, that’s a good show. I especially love how it’s not like anything else on TV. Oh, by the way, please stop trying to make everything else on TV like The Office.

Dear guys who make the home ethanol pump,

I was really excited the other day when I saw that there are people that are interested in helping folks make their own ethanol. I mean, a pump in my back yard turning sugar into miles seems like a great idea. Then it hit me: this will make sugar more expensive. I’m all for the environment and all, but if this raises the price of donuts by one red cent, then the cost is too high. This goes double for all you farmers that are using your corn to make gas instead of feeding it to your beef critters. I’ll promise to bike to work if you promise me more angus. Oh, and as a West Virginian, I must inform you that my kinfolk have long perfected backyard ethanol production, and their gear don’t cost 10 grand.

Dear ABC,

Lost is making my head hurt. Please answer all the questions by the end of this season or I fear I may have to stop watching and get a life. We don’t want that.

Dear Gold Key Homes,

While I’m really excited about building a house with you guys, can we just go ahead and do it already? I mean, sure, these things take time, but honestly, October is forever to wait. I’d like to have a house, like, soon. Not too soon as that down payment kinda cleaned us out and we need to save up to buy things like a fridge and oven and dishwasher and garbage cans and a garden hose and a utility sink and a bigger ladder and maybe some sort of cool lawn ornament. Possibly a gnome. Anyways, we’re excited and hope that all our friends and relatives (especially the ones with trucks) can come and see it as soon as possible. Oh, and, yes, there will be a party.

Dear Camden Michael Sevren,

Welcome to, well, here. I mean the whole here. You’re really the reason I wanted to post because I really love bragging on my new nephew. It’s ok if your dad enough of an Orioles fan to name you after a park, just be glad Amber’s not as big of a Reds fan or you could have been River Front Sevren or Great American Sevren and that just wouldn’t have been as cool. At least you’re far enough from Baltimore that it’s going to be a bit of a novelty name. Maybe we can talk Lisa into naming a cousin of yours Wrigley. Actually, that’s not bad. Anyways.

We’re all really pumped and you’re amazingly cute, which is a bonus. Awesome hair, dude. Your dad said you came out with a faux-hawk, which I think is sweet. Work that bad boy image from day one.

Enjoy the sleeping and eating and more sleeping routine. This is the last time you’ll get a chance to be this lazy unless you major in Bible or something like that in college. Have fun, and we’re looking forward to seeing you again soon.
