I learned last week that the ‘contact’ tab at HogwartsProfessor.com was broken and, hurrah, the web guru who maintains the site was able to fix it quickly. The good news is that I’ve been receiving on average one note a day from readers and speaking venues. The bad news, alas, is that I’ll never know how many folks, libraries, churches, and schools wrote to me here in the past year and whose notes I cannot recover.
Most of these contacts have questions or invitations even the most devoted All-Pro would not be interested in, but some are treasures. The stand-out for sheer self-promotion is this one, from a YouTube cook and Harry Potter fan:
Hello!
I do a cooking show on YouTube, my most recent video is taken from the Harry Potter series. As you appear to also be a fan of the series I thought you might enjoy the video. If so, please feel free to view it here
Thank you very much for your time.
Warm Regards,
Chef Mac
Gotta love that “you appear to also be a fan of the series.” Patronized by a Galloping Gourmet wanna-be… in a request that I promote his YouTube Walter Mitty existence. Ah, life’s little indignities.
A Question from the Mailbag tomorrow — “Why the lousy Latin in the series?” See you then!
“The bad news, alas, is that I’ll never know how many folks, libraries, churches, and schools wrote to me here in the past year and whose notes I cannot recover.”
I assume, one was definitely mine. But it seems I found other ways of contacting you in the end.
I just realized I never said thank you for your answer and comments to my questions about LOST and alchemy.
