Tom Robbins and I shared a rollicking pen pal relationship for years, starting back when I was living in a hippie community in Topanga Canyon.
I lost most of our letters when I fled LA in 2019, though one particularly lovely one does sit on my altar (an unabridged dictionary). Tom donated the bulk of my letters to him to a University library, but I'm happy to have tripped upon a photograph of this letter, in particular.
My then boyfriend, a Swedish playboy/model, was mucho jealous of our ongoing exchange, and insisted that I let Tom know, in no uncertain terms, that I wasn't available for any hanky-panky. And so it was that I scribbled, "P.S. I don't want to have sex with you", on the back of a letter I'd just stamped, before slipping it in the mailbox slot at the Malibu post office. This was his
I was blessed to meet Tom in 2019. I handed him a signed copy of my transformational coloring book, YES, I AM. He looked at it and said, "Dani Katz! I remember you!", to which the woman standing next to me gushed, "Cool." It was interesting to have my literary hero recognize me, and to be witnessed in that recognition, which made it all the more real.
God freakin' bless, Tom Robbins.

This video is a teaser for a solo episode coming next week where I go much deeper.
Curious what you notice as you watch 👀
Every word matters.
