There is a new key post up. I am going to do these in random order. I have a LOT of catching up to do but I plan to get at least two more up tonight and several tomorrow and we'll go from there.

The keys have slowed to a mere trickle, making me realize how much of a light it brought into my life that I could go to the mailbox and have this connection with strangers. I am hoping as I send more THINGS out into the world to the people who've already brought me keys, I will get more in.

I am going to add a new twist.

Because of my job, some of you will meet me.

If you want to bring keys with you (with stories, please!) I will trade you something IN PERSON. No waiting for the mail. Just come up to me, hand me an envelope with a key in it and I will pull something from my bag or pocket and give it to you.

Two people brought keys for me to the Brooklyn gig Amanda did ten days ago. I was a little more than tipsy and when I got home and the keys fell out of my pocket I was thrilled... and a little baffled. (I figured out who gave them to me.)

Here's one, from Des:


Love,
Beth

Damn it. I need to come up with a story for your present. As you may have guessed, it IS key related... the one I sent previously was not the originally intended key. Since Jeff had a hand in this particular key incarnation, I may have to enlist his creative skills for the story portion. Hmmm....

I had/have a key to send, I just haven't gotten to remembering to find it and mail.. hmm. Procrastination is a horrible thing.

I sometimes wish I had a key to give you.

But, I also realize I've received far more from you than any trinket you could send me.

(Of course, more than most people, you have the key to my brain. You understand me better than anyone else.)

I still might try to scrounge one up before coming to see you.

I can give you many keys to my house in a couple of weeks (all the doors are being changed!).. Along with the ones that I have from the last house and my old locker.
