Well this was a delightful surprise! Happy birthday, my incredibly talented friend. I honestly don’t know how you can write so much good stuff — in a vast array of styles — in what seems, from a distance, effortlessly. Enjoy that hamburger! And thanks for putting so many vulnerable, good, and interesting thoughts into the world!
