i presume this refers to me, though i can't be sure.  well, the story
behind my absence is a long one.

i became involved with a carpet-fitter about three months ago.  it was
wonderful while it lasted, but i was allergic to the lint he always
carried on his knees; he refused to let me brush him down, because he
was afraid of static buildup.  i left him after he tore my torah up
into little strips and stapled them to his overalls.

the extra adar this year has been causing me no end of confusion, too.
since i keep expecting it to be purim any day now, i have dough for
hamantaschen sitting in my freezer waiting for use.  except, you know,
my mind is a little flaky, and sometimes i forget i've already made
dough?  i'm thinking of buying a new freezer to hold the overspill.

so buying this new freezer requires that i have money, you know?  i
went to the employment bureau looking for a job, and the woman behind
the counter suggested that i start working for a travel agent.  well, i
managed to find such a job, and i was very happy there.  my boss fired
me after a few weeks, though, when i kept advising eligible-looking
jewish men to stay home and have me cook dinner for them rather than
travel anywhere.

you can't win.  so right now, i'm looking for a partner who likes
hamantaschen.  any takers?

"Ireland," he said helpfully, looking straight ahead.
