This just showed up in my inbox from The Caretaker Gazette:

Hollywood superstar. Hmmm. Wide variety of options available there. Not sure I’d want to apply unless I knew what star I was working with…
Update : my brother just sent the following email to the above address:
My life has prepared me in detail for the position listed. As the son of a diplomat, travel became my norm. I am fluent in the ways of travel, and have a spotless drivers license. My current job is as an office manager for an architect in New York City, which has guided me well in my quest towards perfect multi-tasking. My previous employment as a Mexican cook, as well as in a home for retired persons, has given me a wide knowledge of various cuisines. I am alert at all hours of the day or night, and would be willing to work 24/7 for the right price.

I can understand your reticence in applying for this job, Nicco, especially since you are ~already~ butler to the political superstars. Echoditto is a virtual butler of political campaigns…. “What do you require? Yes, let me think a minute — yes, we’ll see what we can do.”
More power to you, my role model and friend!
