Hi,
The following paragraph is from an article I saw online. Can anyone
find the e-mail/essay mentioned so I can read it? Sounds funny.  :-)

Tracy McArdle, whose debut novel, "Confessions of a Nervous Shiksa,"
comes out in August, was on the fast track at Sony Pictures when she
quit her publicity job to write full time. The woman is funny ? while
she was still at Sony, a nonindustry-focused essay she wrote called
"Fixing the Hole in My Cat" was forwarded via e-mail around town,
interrupting many a workday (including mine) while those who read it
fell panting out of their chairs.

No luck with the piece you're looking for. Here's some background on Tracy McArdle.

Tracy McArdle spent twelve years in film and television publicity in
New York and Los Angeles, working for such companies as Turner
Broadcasting, Twentieth Century Fox, and Sony Pictures Entertainment,
before moving home to New England for good pizza, four seasons,
family, and better fishing. She now lives in Carlisle, Massachusetts,
a town with one traffic light. Her writing has appeared in The Boston
Globe and Premiere magazine, and has been read at the Los Angeles
series, Spoken Interludes. This is her first novel.
