Writing what? You don't include the text you're replying to.

Maybe Gene meant watermarked paper, matching envelope and his best
handwriting. Might be in your mailbox after the weekend.

Will it smell faintly of aftershave, or of grackles?


You're assuming Gene's aftershave and grackles don't smell alike.

It dawns on me that I have reached the age of 57 without ever smelling a
grackle. What do they smell like? This is something I have never
thought about before and there are no grackle in the vicinity to smell.
From this Wikipedia article, it is possible they smell like formic acid
due to their habit of "anting."

Do you have an old shoe? That ought to approximate fairly well-
