Dear Dairy Queen's $5 Buck Lunch,

Are you a lunch for male deer, maybe? A saltlick and berries? An extra dollar off if you come in with antlers?

I ask because you're called the Five-dollar buck lunch. Or didn't you realize that the $ means dollars? That is to say, if you have a $, then you don't need the "buck." Either you're trying to get our attention with your incorrectness, or you need to find some more language-savvy folks to contribute to your ad campaign.

Hugs & kisses,
B

Dear Creative Writing,

Sometimes you're so terribly rewarding that I wonder why I don't spend all day writing.

Hugs & kisses,

Dear Julie Fowlis,

Thank you for recording a Gaelic version of "Blackbird." I don't even have words for how much I love your "Lob-dubh."

Tapadh leibh,
