During my scanning extravaganza (my ScanSnap portable document scanner was money very well spent), I found a letter titled Really Really Useful Advice that my dad wrote me when I was a fairly new college graduate. The letter has turned out to be a good companion to his Guide to Good Nosh. Sprinkled among the legitimate advice were a few gems, probably meant to ensure I read the letter all the way through.
"Beware all brokers. They are bungling chameleons who shall be named Rupert." -- Benjamin Franklin
"And God took pity on Lucifer, so before casting him forth from heaven to live amongst the debris of Humanity he taught him to speak French." -- Attila the Hen [sic]
"And God confounded Satan by creating real estate agents." -- Archbishop of Canterbury
So I'll be digitizing the letter, too, so that it can be passed on to Lauren and Maddie at the proper moment.
