Pi~~~per-san (said in annoying high-pitched Japanese girly-girl voice, naturally)! I remember you saying you weren't the best correspondent, but I would be most obliged if you'd give me a sign of life. I'd love to continue writing you sordidly revealing letters in a variety of formats and European languages, but I need to know that they're at least arriving and not falling victim to horrible accidents in transit. Your silence is making poor little me nervous. Thus, I implore you, email me (m.brands@shaw.ca, if you've lost the address)!
