This may be my favorite piece yet, although the reunion one is still up there competing. I think I may finally getting the hang of your voice. Most of the time when I read these pieces I generally feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride where I hang on mystified just for the sudden excitement I feel when I get what you were saying and whoop and holler over the flashes of brilliance. But today I was able to keep my eyes open and understand every single part of this ride, whooping and hollering the whole way. Hope you get something from that list. I am tempted to send you a gift card from Lindt, since I would not survive without my daily squares of their 90% dark chocolate.

You hit a hundred percent of the jokes! Even I don’t get that score, well done. Thank you for the kind words, it means a great deal. I’m sure more from the list will come through.

Hey, Dennard. You had “money” on your Christmas list so I upgraded to paid. Merry Christmas. 😘

It’s a miracle! Thank you. I’m hoping the entrance music is next.

I miss my mom, too. Also really really want to hear that Damien Echols story. Can we have that next Christmas? (Check with your lawyer.)

Have the happiest possible holidays under the circumstances!

I might! Once the second book exists, all bets are off. I’d be down to start an internet fire.

I was already looking forward to that book and you keep giving me reasons! Burn it down, friend. Burn it all down.

Brilliant stuff. A signed copy of The Iliad is legit genius. I want one, too.

It’s all my library of madness is missing.

“Tickets to Eric Adams’s arraignment.”

I’d be happy to watch him do kick flips while he tells me how much he loves New York’s baseball team.
