Dear Dan,

Your response is obnoxious. How on earth would you be able to agree
with Chuck Strum, if he refers to an entirely different person?

I am going to go play some clarinet. I appear to getting quite testy.

I swear that the can can should be playing in the background with a
round of fireworks to boot.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Jones
