Hey Zelda,
Glad you enjoyed the flowers and candy. Least I can do even though I think it’s a holiday created by gift card companies, florists, and chocolatiers. And no, I don’t send those things to all of my “insiders,” but I couldn’t let you have another “meh” Valentine’s.
Thanks for the heads-up about Orchid. I was the first to publish the info released by the FDA and your company. Earned me major points with my editor.

Ernie,
In case you haven’t seen the weather report for Memorial Day weekend, it’s going to be a scorcher. Remember to stay hydrated and don’t forget the sunscreen if you’re outside!
Least I can do!

You’ll be glad (and maybe a little surprised) to know I didn’t end up dehydrated or forget my sunscreen. Thanks to you, I don’t look like a lobster’s twin, only his cousin.
Much appreciated,

Rumor has it Zentello will be shooting off fireworks not only to celebrate the Fourth of July but also to celebrate some good news from the FDA. Any truth to that?

Ernie,
I hope you enjoyed the 4th and remembered your sunscreen. UV rays can cause damage even on overcast days.
Zentello had fireworks, but unlike the patriots in Boston, I have no tea to spill. Perhaps in late summer or early fall, I’ll know more. That’s when we hope to hear from our favorite three letter agency. Oh, and that part is off the record!
