Filed under: All That and a Bag of Mail
One of the truly great things about having a public e-mail address to receive reader e-mails isn't the death threats or the regular questioning of my heterosexuality that arrive, it's hearing from regular readers who are entertained by the column or books and have funny or nice things to say. I've been writing online for six years now, an Internet lifetime, and the positive e-mails truly dwarf the negative ones. I try and respond to these e-mails, generally failing, but I try anyway. But every now and then an e-mail arrives that surprises me, that is so unique even I'm floored for a moment. Such was the case with an e-mail I received this past June. It's the basis for the entire mailbag this week. The request was simple: would I appear at a couple's October wedding?
Read on.
Dear Mr. Travis:
I have a somewhat strange request. I'm getting married on October 16 and I'm trying desperately to think of a good wedding gift for the groom. He's a huge fan of yours, so I was wondering if there's anything you'd be willing to do in order to make me the coolest wife ever. We're getting married in Knoxville, so I didn't know if you'd be willing to make some sort of appearance at the reception (a quick toast?) or, if that's too ridiculous, if there's anything else you can think of."
