*martha and tom and martha and us*
dear f.o.m.a.t.*,
some of you have asked me what you can do to help
martha out. some of you, i haven't spoken with in about a hundred years (hi!).
if only i could just say hello.
but as you know, tom has gone and left a big tom-sized hole in our hearts. i sure do miss him.
as you may also know, illness and death in the good ol' U.S. of A. are stupidly expensive (it's the american way!). if collectively we share in that burden during this tough time...well, that seems a fine thing to do. for what it's worth, martha's not so keen on this effort, but too damn bad. if/ when we're in the same boat, you can bet your sweet ass that she'll jump right in line to help us out.
don't worry about kicking in a grand amount!--(says the librarian). it's just a way to come together, honor tom,
and support miss martha in tough times. i've gone and set up one of those group fundraising thingies.
if you want to help in a different way (gas, grass, or ass...just kidding!), feel free to get in touch with me directly. some muscle might come in handy as modern times reconfigures. i'm open to ideas, and happy to coordinate. thank you, and i hope you're well-- merry winter!
