First of all, only you would use the word oeuvre instead of just collection, or even body of work. 🙄 Ya big show off. Lol...Also, as your editor (🤣) I feel I should remind you that you didn't move back to New York. We always lived in New Jersey. And lastly....I loved this. 🥰 I remember each incarnation well, and love you always, no matter where you are, physically and metaphorically. ❤️ See ya soon, my big bro!

Happy birthday, Thomas! I hope it went well. I feel a similar stirring need for change but I'm not sure what it is. I don't think I can replicate the low cost housing situation I currently have really anywhere else, though, so that leaves me stuck. And maybe that is the stirring ... knowing I can't go anywhere else (unless I want to live in my little pickup) makes me WANT to, heh.

I thought I had heard that traditional Korean culture held that life went in 7-year cycles but when I looked it up I could only find weird new age sites that said that but anyway the point is that adding a whole new chapter in your life every decade or so is awesome and also holy shit that’s a hell of a hat. Have a fabulous birthday dinner!

Happy Birthday! And you know what? I already nabbed a copy of Low Down Dirty Vote, so if you want to pick someone else, I'm cool with it. Let me know.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Pluck! I am so thrilled that you are loving the Agnes Varda collection, as I think I might have pressured you to buy it... Have a fab day, whatever revolution.
