I need your help! My dear, sainted grandmother turns 70 on Jan. 26 and I’m trying to think of ways to mark the occasion. You can help two ways: (1) giving me any great ideas you have, and (2) participating in the Mazie Project 2002.
Mazie (that’s her name, Mazie) Project 2002 is an attempt to get as many people as possible to send her birthday cards. She sometimes gets a little lonely down in Louisiana, and while I drive down there as often as I can, it’d be great for her to know that lots of people are thinking about her. (Even if they don’t know her.)
So, if you woke up this morning thinking, “I am a good person! How can I show this to the world and improve my karma?”, here’s your chance. Her address is Mazie Benton, 803 W. Branche St., Rayne, LA 70578. And if you want to feel extra good about yourself, ask someone else to send a card, too. Why should you do this? Well, Mazie’s really, really cool. There’s your reason.

What kind of Birthday card would Mazie like?
You should get a lot of people to link to this entry so it climbs to the top of the blogdex.
karen: i doubt she has a preference, although i’d advise you to avoid the fart-joke cards. that’s more for my benefit than hers.
d.saint: hmmmmm. selfish, yes, but still a fine idea!
You must think very highly of your readership to put your grandmother in such hands as ours.
I’m flattered… but I hope she’s ready for the one or two cards that are bound to show up that are, um… “less appropriate”.
(My suggestion, Josh: take down her address once her birthday’s passed.)
I *do* think highly of my readership, all six of you…and yes, that address is coming down as soon as Jan. 26 passes. And as for the inappropriate cards, well, Mazie has a sense of humor. 🙂
If you’re still fishing for other birthday gift ideas, you can steal one of mine. A few years ago, I went to a coin shop and bought a set of coins from the year of my grandfather’s birth.
