Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my cavorting crocuses! How are you? It seems like the wind has been blowing in from Lake Michigan for most of the month of March. I think we had one warm day, when the wind shifted to the south and it was so hot and strong that the outdoors felt like a large convection oven. Then we dropped back into the 30’s. So, no matter how March came in or is going out, I, for one, am glad that it’s almost gone. A warm-up is supposed to begin today and continue for a couple more days, fueled again by those southern winds. Thank you, Mother Nature, for the wonderful warmth.

Yesterday, I received an email from the delightful Ms. Beejay. She wrote:

Dear Madame Zoltar,

For over a week, I have been trying to make kk my 'friend of the day' on Facebook. All sorts of friends and relatives have popped up as my 'friend of the day.' Almost alarmingly, Drewzepmeister has shown up repeatedly...like he has cast a spell on this application. But, no little kk.

Now kk has let it be known that she has no reflection in the mirror.
Has Drew cast a spell on kk??? Has she left this plane for another....or are we all wacko?
Or have her eye-teeth begun to grow??? OMG!

Please see if you can undo whatever spell has been cast and return kk to her original visible state. And while you are at it, see if you can have her appear magically as my 'friend of the day!'

I will be eternally grateful.

Beejay

Dear Ms. Beejay, oh my! Invisibility, reflected or otherwise, is usually not a good sign. You were right to be concerned about the celestial Ms. kk and to contact me. It often is a challenge to unravel spells cast by rival practitioners. This one appears to be a rather elementary spell, composed, perhaps, by someone just beginning to dabble in the arcane rites and arts. In any case, I have negated it forthwith and completely so that Ms. kk’s reflection will once again grace the eyes of mortal men.

As for the 'friend of the day' application on your Facebook account, Ms. Beejay, not even I can be sure of my powers when it comes to computers, the internet, and software. Junior usually handles that. He’s not around, though, so I’ll give it my best shot. Ms. kk should appear as your ‘friend of the day’ very soon, or else her face will be showing up on every electronic billboard in the nation (and overseas, if the ether is clear).

I don’t think that Mr. drewzepmeister would cast a spell on Ms. kk or your ‘friend of the day’ application without first consulting me. He is a loyal Irregular and I just can’t imagine him obtaining psychic influence outside of our family.

Then again, you never know, do you? Only I, Madame Zoltar, know! If you want to find out, send me a message: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com.

Thank you for reading my blog this week, my dears. I love you all so much. I look forward to sharing with you each and every week.

Don’t forget that tomorrow is April Fools Day. You never know what kind of joke someone might pull. Check the tops of condiment containers and keep an eye out for banana peels. It’s only funny if it happens to someone else. Croci!
