Glad you're there. You voice, stories, and humor have done us well. Just sit with that please. You're a good person, Gary, and you are loved.

I think I read or heard that the book was Band in Boston. Probably not- but just get the rumor out there and it will be a best seller in a week!

I'm not wiling to go off on a tangent on feminist teachers or social injustice on college campuses. I think the stories seem too laconic and a bit meandering like a runaway train. Education varies depending on the personal experiences of the individual. I do believe no one is more entitled than another. I trust in meritocracies. Yes, you are a decent fellow but to sell a few more books of Cheerfulness should not be the end-all in economics. Plenty of literature has been banned over the centuries. Why risk it?

Another great new adage from GK:

If you fall into a pit of manure, keep your mouth shut.

I love the way one topic dovetails into the next. It's verbal storytelling at It's best.

Don’t forget what a wise entertainer once told me: Abraham Lincoln didn’t die in vain; he died in Washington, D.C.
