Love all of this, but specifically, I need to know: does the comma between seriousness and the double-underline emphasizing pithiness mean "avoid seriousness and REALLY avoid pithiness"? or does it mean, "avoid seriousness, PITHINESS IS WHAT WE'RE AFTER"
There was a beloved broadcaster in Minnesota named Charlie Boone. He and his radio partner Roger Erickson entertained listeners across the state for 37 years. Maybe you're supposed to write a book or story about someone like him.
I must remind myself that if it were not for all the horrors of our age, the inundations of communications, I would not have these thoughts delivered so easily to me, to be shared, to be laughed over in a form that does not age in the same way our boxes of old papers do. Oh, the sight of that old dot matrix printer paper. Sex Sex Underwear. Those excellently modern geese. And certainly the mash-up I live these days: crank+tenderness. I thrill to know, on your spirit's behalf, that you keep it (and your family's) excellently funny bones healthy with the best GD double bill in the world, courtesy of Guest and Co. Once again, thank you.
In what will seem like 20 minutes and not 20 years, you, too, will be a visored silver fox who doesn’t respect boundaries. It’s just what happens. 🤷♀️
Thank you for making me laugh on a gloomy day, weatherwise, here. We can probably match Austin's rain levels, though spared hail. Loved the pink salamander! So glad you are sticking to the things that bring you joy. Throwing things away, especially paper, is always hard for me. Good luck!
I've had several skin biopsies. Most were ordinary. One had unusual cells which led to a more extensive biopsy that left a 2 inch scar on my calf. Also uneventful. But having been ignorant of the risks when I was a teen (55 years ago) I see the dermatology folks regularly.
I needed this today. 🫶

I learned two new words from you today!! 😂
Have missed your Barton Springs reports.
And your children are harsh 😂.

But you know that. 😉

oo la la, you're on a roll with this one - terrific!
Sex Sex Underwear was my favorite early 80s powerpop band.
I feel like "SEX SEX UNDERWEAR" would be a good chant for... something.

I am sorry, I'm giggling so much.
