Thank you. Three-plus years into this beat, and you’re the reason it works. I don’t take that for granted.

A few of you are still owed something physical: a signed copy of Please, God, Let There Be a Bowling Alley in Heaven. If you haven’t sent me your mailing address yet, now’s the time - reply to this email or drop it in the comments. I’ll get a book out to you.
