I cannot overstate how grateful I am that you write these -- especially during strikes that make us starved for original humor.

I hope to be seeing this particular piece in The New Yorker very soon, by the way. It's the only logical home for it.

I cannot tell you (a) how glad I am not to have to deal with NYC real estate, at least until my daughter moves back here) and (b) how much I needed the laughs I got from this piece. The Celine bag will stay with me forever.
