[...] it’s just about time for my sort-of-traditional year-end survey. I did one of these for 2005, 2004, and 2003, but not 2006, for some reason I can’t quite remember. I was probably too [...]

Happy New Year, everyone, and especially to you, Matt! I’d have to say that 2005 was a really big year for me, as you know — I know I’ll never forget it, that is for SURE. But I gotta say that YOUR feats — all the stuff that you did and overcame and developed and other such verbs as mentioned in the above TBT — those are the ones that really make me smile. No, really! I know it doesn’t take much to make me smile (I laugh at my own jokes, for crying out loud [SEE?]) but, honestly, hearing about your successes and triumphs…. a lot of my smiles come from that.

I truly and sincerely wanna wish you and yours a very happy new year, and I hope 2006 brings us all more of the good that we found in 2005.

If you like short fiction, you should read Mark Helprin’s stories! They are among the most beautiful things I have read, and in my opinion are not only the best short stories but the best THINGS by any metric of any sort ever conceived of by man.

Hell yeah they’re that good. Look for “A Dove from the East”, or “Winter’s Tale” which is not in fact a short story nor even a collection of them, but a novel that you could read like short stories, flipping between vignettes at random, if you wanted.

Awww, Matt, you miss me. That made me kinda misty. In a manly way though of course. Like kinda how Odysseus is always crying whenever people are singing about the Trojan war etc… ‘Cause that man’s all manly man. Homer said so.

I can spoon you. I’m excellent at spooning. This summer when I’m around, we can hang out and watch TV and spoon and it’ll be great. But I won’t spoon during Gilmore Girls. I don’t care what you say, that show annoys the piss out of me.
