Today is Fan Mail Friday #3, Although it is Saturday
If you are not familiar with our "Fan Mail Friday #n" featurette, please familiarize yourself by reading this entry before proceeding, or you may be the victim of spontaneous combustion.
Before proceeding, note that it hasn't escaped my notice that today is not Friday, but Saturday, which would seem to contradict the whole concept of the "Fan Mail Friday #n" featurette. Nonetheless, the complex logistical planning that goes on behind the scenes here at The Supreme Aglet sometimes requires us to make these minor changes in our programming. Please carry on. If you like, you may pause here and set your computer calendar date temporarily to yesterday, then resume reading.
This week's fan mail comes from Agleteer Ed, (The Supreme Aglet will not reveal the full identity of fan mail contributors unless specifically requested):
...and indeed, no one but you and I, as well as my readership, will ever learn of your secret. Revealing such a secret would be tantamount to betrayal of all my readers and fans, which I refuse to do even under duress, and even though I secretly find it amusing that you are a Manilow fan.
Now, go forth, and be not ashamed of your appreciation of the music and the man. I went through that stage at one point as well when I first found myself enjoying Manilow's music, but I made it through the rain. I kept my world protected, I kept my point of view. In the end, I found myself respected by the others who got rained on too, and made it through. It's a miracle, a true-blue spectacle--yes, a miracle came true, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.

I found my Barry Manilow CD. I misplaced it about 3 years ago. Today, we traded our car in for a mini van, and as we were clearing it out, I found the CD in the pocket behind the driver's seat. I don't know why I never thought to look there, but I'm very happy that it has been recovered.
I just wanted to let you know, as I feel I know you, and that I can trust that you will keep my appreciation for Barry Manilow a secret.
