On The Cases

It’s common knowledge that The Slackmistress and I operate a semi fictional detective agency. Beginning next month my detective partner and I will be consolidating our offices and in preparation for this we discussed our current caseload last night. The following investigations are underway:

1- The Mysterious Johnson…Eric Johnson that is. A young man sings a birthday song to a girl on the internet, but doesn’t identify himself. The Slackmistress and Be the Boy Detective agency need to find out who this man is. We are hoping that our network of operatives gets in touch with us soon to break this case open. Also, since the girl the song is sung to is responsible for my partner and me meeting we are working this case pro bono.

2- The Case of the Growing List – In preparation for our upcoming Las Vegas wedding we began making a tentative guest list. In an effort to keep costs reasonable we agreed to limit the actual ceremony to no more than 20-25 people. With this in mind we compiled our list of everyone we wanted to have there and came up with about a 135 people. Clearly we need to find a way to have everyone we care for involved without having to rob a bank. Our tentative solution is to have a small intimate ceremony followed by a poolside open house weekend but there will be more to come on this after we select a place to hold the wedding.

3- The Suit That Came in From the Cold – In order to properly marry a dame like The Slackmistress a man needs a suit. Of course I’m thinking something vintage a la William Powell as Nick Charles or Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade. Currently we are in search of something that is classic cool but not overly dated. As with the Eric Johnson case we are hoping for a break in this case.

4- The Case of the Lurking Readers – The blog world had decided that this week is national de-lurking week so if you’re reading this and not saying who you are please stand up and be counted in the comments…you just may help us solve a mystery.
