I joined The Listserve in April 2012, just about the time the project began. The premise, for those unfamiliar is a daily email from one of the 23,000 list subscribers chosen at random.

So, for the last 1100 or so days I’ve read through the emails I’ve received, and of course wondering what I would share when the day came. There was a time a few years ago I would have written something deeply insightful about depression and hopelessness. There was a time I would have written gracefully and gratefully about the people who have helped me get where I am. Or about being a dad. Or self-helpy shrink advice. Or promote myself.

Well, I was chosen on Friday and instead of any of those I submitted a fictional piece that only works if you believe that Satan subscribes to the list. MLM Hell, so to speak.

And so, in case you receive the email and happen to go searching for whoever blew their chance to *really* introduce himself. Ya found me!

UPDATE: The Listserve archives all submissions, so mine can be found Listserve Archived post.
