At Kelly's request (I want people to know how awesome these gifts are, so please attach my self summary to the post. This person really pulled off something amazing here.) I present her self description, her gift, and the first communication I received from her confirming receipt of her TAPGE present.
Me: Graduate school survivor. Recovering Catholic. Unabashed nerd. Nonprofit enthusiast. Lover of bluegrass, craft beer, Doctor Who, reading, Sherlock Holmes, organic vegetables, feminism, This American Life, liberal politics, wordplay, canoes, and nature.
I spent a lot of time thinking about how to make recipes better, fashion, the TARDIS, how to build an amazing tree fort, the kind of dog I want to adopt, the places I’d like to travel, and the young adult novels I want to write.
In short: Fantasy nerd. Fashionista. Scotch enthusiast. It’s complicated.
ACT II: Kelly Receives a Gift
ACT III: Kelly Reacts
Asked to connect a few dots for the casual observer, Kelly writes:
Elementary, my dear Watson.
The card is, of course, Ira Glass, the chocolates are from a chocolatier in Brooklyn and are infused with craft beers. The towels are organic cotton, and the book The Beekeeper’s Apprentice is an updated version of Sherlock Holmes starring a feminist in the early 1900s (and one of my unowned favorites.)
Sounds like a hit to me.
