never wrong

i've been writing spam articles for like six months now, and i want to think i'm the expert. well, at least when i'm talking to my mom and my sister. so kaye tells us she received this email from a friend, one of those earthquake warnings.

technical writer me was quick: hoax! remember those viagra emails? the greeting cards? let's not panic here, ok. delete the email. do not forward anything.

but mommy did an alan lightman: it really doesn't matter. there will be some quake sometime soon, spam or no spam. it may happen tomorrow, or when you're forty and kaye's thirty nine. it's geological. silence. this happened a week ago. then, last night: earthquake.
