The first email I ever received
This is the first email I ever received. It was from my brother in response to my suggestion that we go to McDonald’s with money that I had quickly obtained earlier that day with minimal effort. “Kal’s store” was this dirty corner store that was ridiculously overpriced.
This was sent the day I signed up for an email account. We used the computer labs at Malaspina University-College in Nanaimo. Back then it was a free-for-all. You didn’t have to sign in and they were open pretty late.

….. I will place my hat
on my concussion and dance, P.S
I’m going to Portland and I will…..
EAT!!
So yes or no
I remember writing this E – mail. It was the same day I first got my yahoo E – mail account. We were chatting back and forth that night using E – mails. That was the first E – mail I ever sent. The last par about the concussion was a Leonard Cohen poem.
Most people looking at that E – mail would be confused. I admit it was a little strange. The last part about Portland was true. I was planning to go to Portland but that did not work out.
I still have that email in my Yahoo E mail account. I am assuming Nathaniel got this E – Mail from MY E – mail account.
