(Err...ok - that entry's protected - reposting verbatim here...)
So, this morning, I received... well, I guess kind of an incredible email (just cut and pasting here, so any writing errors are not mine):
"Hi,you don't know me, but I am in possession a poem you wrote in 1995. It was passed on to me from a friend, who had it passed to them from a friend who was in a writing class with you at the time, in Kansas City.I finally got around to googlng your name, and found your website which was very exciting for me. i wanted to let you know how much this poem has meant to myself and my wife. I read it at our wedding and we have it posted on our icebox. Its meant a lot to me over the years and am glad that this chance encounter with a fried allowed me to have a copy of it. i read this to my wife when i asked her to marry me and also a tour wedding. I hope this is the right "chadd Keim' and that this email reaches you. thank you again. I hope life is treating you well."
the email came to me from some address in the United Kingdom.
neat, 'eh?
