great banter between you and Todd be a good team goin forward and funny how doin the math on dog years stumped you both for a second lol

its almost scary i recognised the call-backs from your yogi, catalytic converter colonoscopy and many other pieces others not mentioned like the one about fate and accidents and the fire on a simple drive down to the gym or whatever.....this newsletter was one of the first i started reading in February and since then by no coincidence have been drawn to the stuff created by your 3 other book-club members good crowd

"What?, in THIS economy??!" by Todd referring to your wife's optimistic embrace of wins in a pandemic year must have been a play on that song popular awhile back with the lyrics playfully teased by female singer (now deceased) "What?! In THESE shoes!!??!!"

just guessing

thank you! it's good to know you're catching the call backs. call backs are one of my fav comedic devices because they're basically inside jokes for an audience that's sticking with you.
