CHOIRE KRINGLE

Dear Darla,

Guess what, young person? Your illiterate little note didn’t get to Santa. You know why? Because you addressed the envelope to NORTH SISER PUELL. Fortunately for everyone involved, all the mail for people with fucked-up names in my neighborhood comes straight to me.

So begins Choire Sicha's latest piece from The Non-Expert in The Morning News. Read this. It will make your day. And it's about cats, which makes it even better.

I love Choire's writing. Plus, he spells his name much better than I do. I draw comfort from the fact that, out of all the possible ways to spell our name, his is probably misspelled and mispronounced far more frequently than mine is. I should like to meet this boy someday.
