You're all really kind; thank you. It's better to bring you good news since it's always the black pill around here.

I'm only disappointed that I have to wait another year for my 50th birthday. That's when I can streeeetch, and kick!

50.

50 years old.

If I still haven't found enough courage to talk to you with a recorder in the room by then, how about we do a reversal (ha ha) and I interview you for your 50th? A special audio episode?

Does anyone really need to interview me, though? Is the world crying out for more words from me? DON'T I TALK ENOUGH ALREADY

That's a great idea, Holly. 🙂 A "Slocum Semicentennial" special just for the "L" of it.

I think it could be really interesting. I certainly can think of some good questions since I know him in a genuine-friendship-in-person-way. And there are people in his audience (especially among the hate watchers) who apparently think that their parasocial relationship means they know him better than anyone else (even better than he knows himself, LOL) and it would be kind of funny to watch them react and somehow fun-house mirror everything back into the box they've drawn. Hmmm. Well, we have 364 days to consider it. :)

I don't make a big deal out of birthdays; they don't mean much to me when they happen anymore. But this was such a good one I mentioned it.

I get it. I’m 56 next week. It’s all good and a big nothing burger both. It’s a lovely thing to feel grateful and happy and express as much when we notice it. Normal (ish) people feel joy when others do. People raised by nutters forget this sometimes I think . I know I do .
