odd presents

    Suzi Q, where are you?

    I got a card in the post the other day, from my friends Di and Johnny. Regular readers will know Di as one of the most frequent commenters here (ie, she has commented). We disagreed over The Great Gatsby.

    Anyway, the card had a post-it stuck inside, with some writing on it that I couldn’t quite make out. Di wrote, “Been trying to get this for you for ages… can you guess who it is?”

    I was slow to realise that the “who” referred to the writing on the post-it. But she also said there was a clue on the back of the card.

    On the back she’d written “devilgate.org”.

    The post-it looks like this:

    And I read it to say, “To Martin. Suzi Quatro.”

    I mean, if it says that it makes sense considering my origin story; otherwise, not so much.

    Thanks Di and Johnny. It’s a lovely thought.
