A letter from a reader named Monica:
…Oh, and by the way, I found a piece of paper in NYC subway that had a haphazard to-do list and among the notes it said,”for MM’s blog – idea – dollar store chickens”. So, in case that was meant for you, MM… message delivered.
So, what do you think the chances are that it was a reader of this site that lost the note on the subway? And, if in fact I am the “MM” who was supposed to be the recipient of the “dollar store chicken” idea, please, if you’re out there, tell me what the idea was. I know I’m probably wrong, but I’ve convinced myself that it’s something huge, something that would really put this site of mine on the map. So, stop holding out of me, and spill it. What am I supposed to do with the dollar store chickens?
update: Now that some time has passed, I’m wondering if it might be “chicken” in the “Ghost and Mr. Chicken” sense. Is it possible that by “dollar store chickens” this person meant people, like myself, who are afraid to shop in dollar stores? (I stay out not because they’re germ-filled, but because the mother of a girl that Linette used to tutor was shot and killed at one not too long ago.)
