I’m trying not to read too much into this, or turn it into a literary conceit or anything, but here are the facts: a copy of Skyward that I sent to someone in California has not yet arrived (I sent it on the 13th of March, so something is not right) – AND the copies of Skyward that Glenn in Texas made for me – have not arrived on my doorstep, although he chose 2-day priority mail and sent it mid-week last week.
It’s making me crazy, since I made promises, and sent my copy out blithely into the universe … only to find that it is not there yet.
And so, think of this, if you will: at this very moment, no less than 11 copies of Skyward are floating in the airspace over America, lost and unmoored, circling, banking, circling banking …
I just want them all to LAND already and get their butts into the proper mailboxes.
Come on, Gilstrap, bring that plane in, just like Billie Dupree taught you. You can do it.
maybe it’s a conspiracy…and suzy gilstrap is behind it all.
I think this is one of the signs of the Apocalypse…or was it the Eucalypts? Weâll which ever one…repent ye now!
God is mad that HE didn’t get HIS copy yet!
I just went by the church and dropped a copy of Skyward in the collection basket. I also tossed a few copies into our local active volcano to appease any pagan deities that might have somehow been offended. Okay, gotta go, I have a 4:00PM appointment with a priest of the South Malaysian Sect of the Haitian Voodoo Council….we’ll get this thing straightened out yet!
You guys are fabulous. Here I was with a lame joke about the FCC skeet-shooting the discs as they went by.
I’m heading to Arizona tomorrow evening… I’ll keep a watchful eye out the window of the plane to see if I see a Skyward tape headed toward CA.
Is there tracking that can be done or is it USPS?
Nightfly – I am guffawing at the image of FCC guys trying to skeet-shoot down the DVDs of Skyward – I can’t stop laughing.
UPDATE:
I have received word from my contact in California that Skyward has arrived. Phew. And, Glenn, I came home today with one of those “we keep trying to deliver a package” notes in my mailbox – so annoying, I wish they would just LEAVE IT. I’ll go pick it up tomorrow at the post office.
All is well!
That’s great news Sheila. This means I can cancel my meeting with the Dalai Lama this afternoon. I wonder if that pilgrimage to Mecca last night did the trick?
