Dear Diary:

����A few minutes ago I got an e-mail that's really disturbed me. Here's the text, which isn't scary in itself:

Hi, I was chatting with your hubby on ICQ tonight and he gave me the address to your site.
Well, can I just say WOW - I love the pictures - both yours and his and enjoyed the hell out of reading what you wrote.
thanks for a very enjoyable evening sharing a little of your life :0)

����So far so nice except for one thing: the deal is that my spousal unit is completely computer illiterate. If you told him to boot a 'puter, he'd kick it. He's never used ICQ. So ...

����If you meet someone on ICQ and he claims to be Mr. Marn, he isn't.

����Paul thought it was kind of funny. He said it was the first time in his life that anyone had ever fantasized about being him--including him *tee hee*.

����Me, I'm more than a little creeped out.

--Marn

Late addition: One mystery solved: Apparently last night's e-mail came from a woman who found the site where my friend Denny hosts my gardening page and his own travel photos. Somehow, she got the idea we were married. It's odd because Denny's name is on his site, and my husband is called Paul, but ... well, that's what happened.

This template is a riff on a design by the truly talented Quinn. Because I'm a html 'tard, I got alot of pity coding to modify it from Ms. Kittay, a woman who can make html roll over, beg, and bring her her slippers. The logo goodness comes from the God of Graphics, the Fuhrer of Fonts, the one, the only El Presidente. I smooch you all. The background image is part of a painting called Higher Calling by Carter Goodrich which graced the cover of the Aug. 3, 1998 issue of The New Yorker Magazine.
