In my mailbox, this morning, was a shock wave sent to me from Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Allentown, is not unfamiliar with notoriety, as in 1777 it was the host to the Liberty Bell (among 10 other bells) when it was taken down and hidden from the British during the revolutionary war. It's also known for railroads, steel mills, beer, silk and textiles, Mack Trucks, a little more beer, and being the main theme from a bad song by a rising superstar on his Nylon Curtain album, soon to sink into oblivion, much like the steel industry, that once supported this area.
But this shock wave, much like an airborne tsunami, came of a different source. This one arrived on the wings of a 44 cent Christmas stamp, in the form of a ... ugh... I can't say it.... "Christmas letter"... hah.
In this Christmas letter, which discussed funerals, and family, maqic wands and Gaga, Lennon and spam (yes, both kinds), SuperBowl and porn, Japanese wrestling and Nietzsche... my mind was bouncing off the walls already, reeling from all the different thoughts.
And then they hit me... that's right. Hit me. Apparently, and without consulting me, the houses of Sardi and Monroe are going to be joining.
That's okay... take a moment, deep breaths, deep breaths... it took me a few minutes too... the room will stop spinning shortly, take deep even breaths, in through the nose, out through the mouth...
that's right... you heard it here first (unless you already heard it somewhere's else.)... the houses of Sardi and Monroe will be merging. I haven't heard news this jolting since the whole "Bennifer" incident, and it's apparently not due to some court order, or at the end of a shotgun... I don't know what coercion is involved, but I'm sure we'll find out eventually. Now that's gonna be one fugly coat of arms.
Meanwhile, all we can do is pray for them. Pray hard... they're going to need it. (What are we gonna call them... Jasonfer... Jennison... Sardiroe.... Monardi.... what??!?!)
Changing the world... One gene at a time. OMG.
