I’m tempted to change from peter.clark@ to something more obscure; i get SO MANY emails directed at other Peter Clark’s, it’s bizarre and makes my inbox unusable.

Huh. I have come to find the information about other tclancys across the world an interesting insight. Plus there was the time I was mistakenly sent a resume to review for a guy applying to become bank president; he didn't get the gig, but it wasn't because of the three or four paragraphs I sent him on spiffing up the thing.

I once got an email — addressed to some other pclark@ — which was simply a photo of a duck and the message “what duck is this?” I was so disappointed that he never thanked me for replying accurately and expeditiously.

I assume it was for Petula Clark. Not because it makes sense, because it makes the absurdity a little more pungent. What kind of duck was it?

My … favorite tclancy is the one in Australia because I can sense the change in seasons when he gets to rutting and signs up for a rather specific sort of adult dating site each year.

What's stopping you?
