I Just Read 'Thomas the Imperialist Tank Engine.'



Dear Ellen,

Do you use spray PAM olive oil? If you say no, that's one thing, but if you say it's not good enough for you, I will remind you that I once saw you eat Bagel Bites.

In other news, check out this article from Slate. I don't remember if I shared with you my semi-joking unease with 'very useful engine' being the highest compliment paid on the Island of Sodor. "What about those handicapped trains," I wondered aloud to Ben. This article spells it all out in painful and humorous detail.

How you been, girl?

I love your coffee table vignette, by the way. My response is, I realize, one million years too late. The vignette on the mantle seemed, while touchingly a Hannah shrine...a bit too many themes? Keep the cup for 'cougar coffee' in the kitchen. Color-wise, I thought the painting tied in nicely with the four hot pink dots while contrasting nicely: garish detail v. playful asceticism. Bam, you can take that to the bank! I just made that phrase up!

Love you!!
Hannah
