An Open Apology
To Whoever This May Concern:
I apologize for stealing your Sharpie® during my current book tour. As you can see, I couldn’t help it.
It started with the one I borrowed when booksigning in Virginia. But somewhere between there, and San Francisco, my obsession went horribly wrong.
But you see, we don’t get Sharpies® in France. And I just couldn’t resist yours.
Your Sharpie® was so new and so very alluring with that perfectly tapered ink-filled tip.
So round.
So firm.
So plump.
Yes, I kept promising myself, “David…make this the last one!”
But one thing led to another. And another Sharpie® found its way into my pocket.
Then another.
But I will make sure that your Sharpie® has a nice, cozy, and safe place in Paris.
I apologize for an inconvenience this may have caused you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Yours truly,
David Lebovitz
