@MLClark I don't really need anything right now, except for more time to do my laundry before I fall asleep, but I thought I'd give YOU a little pick-me-up: you are a shining example of a person trying to figure how to exist in a confusing and often corrosive world and I'm glad I know you.
(I too may be a little soused. It happens.)
Hi Stephen! 🤗
I hope that laundry organizes itself right-quick (or that you have terrific overnight-elves!).
It's always so lovely to see your name pop up. If we lived in the same city, I'd be by the bookstore weekly to chat!
I don't know what you're soused with right now - my last client-gift reserve is a cab-sauv - but I hope you've paired the evening well with good tunes, a good read, and good vibes all around.
Our longstanding friendship has been, and remains, a gift.
