Brandon,



It's nice to be remembered, even if it is just for my pithy comments and
not my play. (Pithy? Really? Who says that? It's something my
grandmother would say when she was feeling especially girly.)



Just the same it would be nice to be remembered for my play. Was anyone
around when I showed up and dominated the Richmond Ultimate scene back
in '93? Jack, do you remember 1993? At all?



It's true I have a son now and my I save my wisdom for him, for
instance, impressing upon him the importance of not using the word
'pithy'.



But there will always be a place in my heart for Richmond Ultimate, a
very very small dark place, mostly loaded with regret over jerks I
should have punched when I had the chance.



Brandon, you're like a son to me and I will always make time for you and
this message board, even if I'm not playing Ultimate anymore.



(BTW, if anyone with some computer savvy could send me a message
explaining how to unsubscribe from a message board that would be great.)



Until next time!

Subject: [grul-ultimate] Oh, Keith, come back!



Richmond Ultimaters,

I'm issuing a public call for the return of Keith Boisvert and his
pithy comments to this list. We know Keith's got a new family and an
avalanche of responsibilities, but as a single, bored fan of
witticisms and dirty talk I demand the reemergence of a beloved member
of the Richmond Ultimate community.

There was a time, long ago, when subscribers to this list could depend
on words of wisdom from the likes of Jack Cooksey, Dave Lloyd, and the
aforementioned Keith Boisvert. As we've all grown older (and wider in
some cases) these e-mails have become fewer and fewer. Well, I say, no
more! There are too many young and impressionable minds who look to
you, Keith, for guidance and affirmation. Maybe that's not true, but
this list is no fun anymore without you.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not too concerned as to whether or not Keith
wants to show up to pick-up or play Summer League this year--I just
want the goods in a way that only Boisvert can provide.

So if you, dear reader who got sucked into this e-mail through late-
day boredom or by chance, agree, please join me in saying Keith's name
repeatedly into any handy mirror or reflective material (the shiny
side of some foil will do) until he shows up at your house. Or writes
a funny e-mail.

I'm serious. I'll be waiting.
