People Care What I Have To Say!!

So, I was checking my myspace account this weekend, and decided to jump on over and check my yahoo email (which I do maybe once a month since just about everyone i know emails me at my work email). Anyway, I see an email entitled:

'your Aug. 23, 2005 post (Daughters to Work Day)'
My first thought was, toss it!!, as I figured it was junk mail, and besides - a.) why would anyone be writing me about a post that was almost over 6 months old and b.) how did this 'anyone' get my email addressn in the first place, hmmm? Well, just as I'm about to click the delete button, I remembered that I *had* put my email address up on my blog site, so I thought, what the heck, see what it's about. Below is the email that was sent:

Hi, Megan.

I'm a reporter in Washington, D.C., for (name removed), which serves a chain of 26 papers:

(web address removed)

I'm working on a story about memories of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. I came across a post of yours from last year (below).

I'd love to talk to you! What do you say?

Please feel free to respond to this e-mail or, call me at (phone number removed). I can call you right back to save you long distance. If you get my voicemail, please tell me the best time to reach you.

Thanks for thinking about it.

Attached to the email was the link to my August 23, 2005 post entitled Let's Set This Circus Down. I read throught the post thinking, 'what does this have to do w/ taking your son or daughter to work day'? Well, lo and behold there is a short snippet about that very subject in my post.
So anyway, I'm sorta stoked that some random person out there in www.a-penny-for-your-thoughts-land cares about what I have to say, and I just wanted to share ...and that's pretty much it... I'm planning on giving this reporter a call this evening... I'll let you know how it all turns out.
Auf Weidersehen!!!
