Holy fucking shit.

Dr. Wald,

My name is [Name]. I am a producer with Journey Films (www.journeyfilms.com). Our company has been retained by the Templeton Foundation to film the Forgiving Conference and some of its participants for a future public television documentary on the subject of forgiving.

We are seeking an opportunity to interview you on camera about the psychosocial correlates of forgiveness in persons living with HIV/AIDS. [Note: That's the name of the talk I'm giving at the conference.]

We have a separate room at the Westin Hotel where the conference is being held. It will be prepared with camera and lighting equipment. This would be a 30-minute interview conducted in a relaxed style. You will have the opportunity within the interview to strike any "sound bite" you do not want us to use.

[Then there's enough contact information to choke a whale, suggesting that he really does want to talk to me.]

We feel that this subject has great potential for broad public interest and that your participation in an interview will help to shape that interest.

Sincerely,

[Name]
Journey Films

Yes! I just met with Lydia, and then with the Institute's Director of Public Affairs, and now I have an appointment to be interviewed on Friday at 1:45.

What the heck am I going to wear?

There's that navy suit you look so good in. Since you're representing the Institute, you might want to seek advice from the Public Affairs folk.

Congratulations! This is a really nifty thing to happen to you; I know you'll do great.

Something red, or rust. Unless you have an objection to wowing them with your sexiness. :-)

Hee! That's a good idea, actually, because I'm planning to wear my one-and-only suit on Saturday when I give my actual talk. But I have a nice rust-colored blouse, with just enough stretch to the fabric to give it a really smooth, tailored fit. I'll wear that, and black slacks.

Or maybe I should save the rust-colored blouse for Monday, and wow you with my sexiness.

I wouldn't object to that in the slightest. :-)
