Ashley Ream

After my posting yesterday, I received a note from my favorite uncle, so named because he's the only one with the same twisted sense of humor and, therefore, the only reason to think I might actually be biologically related to these lovely people who feed me Christmas dinner.

Apparently some other stuff is floating around the gene pool, too. His photo and note in their entirety...

Ashley:
In reference to your impending demise - I am forced to reveal a horrid and apparently genetically passed trait within our family. We have lovingly shielded you all these years, but we can not bring ourselves to keep you in the dark any longer. You will find attached a photo - this is of only one of the areas in the house where "to be read" books are stored. I currently have more than 300, and I'm sure your Aunt Cathy has at least as many. I can usually squeeze in about 9 a month. So - I think I have a backlog of about 3 years worth. Now you know...

Ashley Ream Dispatches from the City of Angels I'm a writer and humorist living in and writing about Los Angeles. You can catch my novel LOSING CLEMENTINE out March 6 from William Morrow. In the meantime, feel free to poke around. Over at my website you can find even more blog entries than I could fit here, as well as a few other ramblings. Enjoy and come back often.
