Once again, you've nailed it. I'm especially grateful for your perspective as someone who grew up in the same time frame and in an environment with a significant overlap to mine.

Fantastic piece. The caption to your main illustration is worth the price of admission alone. And the fact that you used a Big Lebowski meme just makes me love you all the more.

Aw, thank you!! The Big Lebowski is one of my favorite movies! Just the other day, Rafael and I were saying how our new backyard furniture really tied the backyard together. ;-)

You know, I go through life feeling weird and like an outlier in so many ways. While I do find like-minded friends here and there, it's wonderful to have kind of randomly met someone like you in another part of the country who is also so like-minded. It makes me feel less alone!
