I don’t know about yours, but my calendar says it’s someday today. Better check yours.

Not yet. This is the... what? Maybe the tenth or eleventh time you’ve asked. Why don’t you let me tell you when I’m ready instead of asking repeatedly?

Subject:The calendar begs to differ

Because it’s a great conversation opener. And I think it’s funny. But I also want you to know the offer is still there.

Did you at least smile this time?

Subject: The calendar is always entertaining

You always make me smile, Alan.

Subject: Proof

Turns out the calendar has trust issues and doesn’t take your word for it. The calendar requests a photo of your alleged smile as proof.

To: ALancaster

From: justmaddie

Subject: Me too, calendar. Me too.

The calendar doesn’t get to corner the market on trust issues. I propose an even trade. One smiling photo for another.

(Do not take this as an invitation to send a pecker picture. I mean a picture of your smiling face.)
