Dear ID PR professional publicity service representatives, I'm quite sorry that I referred to your staff as "girls." I was actually reeling at the moment, because one of you popped on the phone and interrupted your client mid-sentence, your Bernie-Madoff-victim client Kyra Sedgwick that I was talking to on the day Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison. That reflexive, unacknowledged, totally random sexism on my part was realy uncalled for! Next time I will aim for "ladies" or even higher, like "women" or "people." Also some of you somewhere are probably men even! (Or boys, I guess.) Sorry! I guess at least I didn't go all Carol Rosenberg on you. Again: sorry!
