Tweezers

At Home Depot...
Him: Can I help you, ma'am?
Me: I'm looking for tweezers
Him: Eyebrow tweezers? There's a CVS just down the corner.
Me: No. Not eyebrow tweezers.
Him: [Blank stare.]
Me: [Regular stare.] I jammed some cords inside a lamp and can't get them out. I've tried a long fork and a pencil.
Him: Oh ok. This way then.
MY UNIBROW, MY CHOICE.

I admire the way you see the world. I read your “Ghostbuster” essay in NYT. If I’m ever reincarnated, which could be soon as I’m 73, ’ll come looking for you. In the meantime, please keep writing. I’ll keep reading.

I like you so much already. Let's stay connected, reincarnation or not.
