Flora by FinijoEvery now and then, I get an e-mail that is meant for someone else. I got a doozy in January of 2006. Right now I have two for my namesake in Ireland - and I am fascinated.
The first e-mail came from someone who is obviously her friend and I can almost hear the brogue lilting at me as I read it. The e-mail is as follows: ________________________________________________________________

Hiya,
Was out with Gilly & Nic last night after work for a quick bite to eat. Gilly was telling that Graham and a few others have been let go. He finished up on the 21st of December. He is delighted. 9 years with the company so that is a bit of money for his esp. with the new baby on the way (its another girl by the way). Jimmy Giles & Darren will be the only two left there for another while longer. Anyways, they are organising a nite out on Sat 1st December. They are heading to Shelbourne park. Myself, Gilly & Nic are going - do you fancy it?
Any news with you?
Thank you and Regards Alice

The second e-mail is a response from Ticket Master for tickets to a show that she plans to see with Celine Dion and Il Divo. Anyone who knows me (even peripherally) would know that this is a show that could very well cause me to puncture my own ear drums. Still, I can't help but love the idea of a "me" somewhere that is willing to shell out almost $300.00 (US) to see two entertainers (well more if you count all of Il Divo) that would cause the "me" here such a violent reaction.

I will try to contact both Karen and Alice today by forwarding/replying to the mistaken messages. I should probably let her know about the message I got back in 2006, just in case it was for her. I think I will miss getting her messages, though. Messages all the way from Ireland, seem so exotic.
