The rumors of my death . . . were not exaggerated this time.

Back before computers were hugely popular and definitely before scanners and such were commonplace, I received a notice from Reader’s Digest that gave my name and how long I’d been a subscriber. So for example:

“Green Pastures has been a subscriber since before 1961.”

Thing was, the year they gave was a few years before I was even born.

I _so_ wanted to have that notice with the caption, “Reports of my birth have been greatly exaggerated.” I tried doing it by hand, messed it up and white out just didn’t do the trick. :-(

If I had only waited another 15 years I could have scanned and photoshopped it!

;-)
