    Good afternoon Miss,

    Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Director of Marketing for The J. Peterman Company. In my daily trolling of the World Wide Web, I came across your article... "More fun with J. Peterman". I wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for your post. I am always looking for more of the elite, J. Peterman, follower.

    Now, being a Mac user, when I clicked on your link to the Mogul Caftan (No. 1862), it did not resolve properly. I've included a link here that should work for all users.

    Again, thank you for your post.

    Also, you may be interested to know that J. Peterman has a blog site. We've brought the same, wonderful copy from our catalog and presented it in a community for curious minds at: Peterman's Eye - http://www.petermanseye.com

    When you have a moment, I'd love for you to jump over and let me know what you think.

    Cheers,

    Jonathan Sexton | Director of Marketing

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

All About the Boy

I’m never sure how much personal stuff to write on this blog, but every now and then I feel compelled to share. And so right now, even though I’d rather be writing gift guides and assorted other nonsense, I’m just going to rant. Emmet has Asperger’s Syndrome. Look it up. It’s a disorder related to Autism, but sufferers are said to be “high functioning.” Just looking at him, you’d never know that anything was wrong. But if you spend some time with him, you’ll see that he has trouble with social functioning. Asperger’s sufferers (they call themselves “Aspies”) aren’t good at self-reflection, and they aren’t good at picking up on social cues. They're also (in most cases) uncoordinated, and they tend to have a variety of tics (physical and behavioral). On top of this, Emmet has an anxiety disorder. Emmet’s life is tough. He is in trouble constantly at school because of the little tics that he’s developed, and because of his anxiety, and because he is afraid of going to the bath
