This is excellent. Except for the lawyer. Never date a lawyer. I had to suspend my law license so that the woman who later became my wife would agree to go out with me.

Bizarrely, it was a few lawyers in a row. The algorithms have strong opinions.

There are too many lawyers in America, and yet justice is so rare.

Trigger warning: sincerity. I'm glad you're enjoying the teaching gig. Your students are lucky to have you. Three lives ago I wanted to be a college professor and I've always gravitated toward teaching. And though it sounds arrogant -- because my audience is smarter and more sophisticated than me -- I think of writing as my Jedi Mind Trick way of teaching these days.

Also, inspired by you, I bought myself a fresh copy of Catch-22 for Christmas. It's wrapped and waiting patiently under the tree.

Sincerity! I remember that. Glad to see it isn't illegal yet.

I appreciate the kind words on teaching, thank you. Hopefully I can live up to them.

That book's one of the best gifts you can give yourself. I hope it gives you the same psychic jumpstart I enjoyed.

Good photo with camera. Who took it? (I'm guessing Annie Leibovitz)

A friend of mine into welding and day drinking. We weren't welding.

Thanks! No promises on the police. That might happen within the week.
