Certified letters almost always hearken bad news - in my case, usually something I've neglected with the potential for devastating consequences. So imagine my delight to find a certified letter in my Channel 8 mailbox that has languished there for more than a month. And imagine my relief to find it was only from the police.

It turns out Metro wants me to stop by and help out with an internal affairs investigation regarding a story we broke, a story that is potentially damaging for Metro.

Me?! The driver of the white Volvo with an until recently unpaid speeding fine who ducks cops when her brake light is out? They want to talk with me? This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Imagine the perks: No waiting behind police lines. Puffin' cigars with the sheriff. If my friends back in the newsroom could see me now!

But alas, my boss says I must decline. Besides, I spilled my guts to Jon on the TV show a month ago. Just in case my would-be friends at Metro missed it, we've posted that program, and the letter, too.
