Heya,

You know you had me at "episode 19, season 2 of the original Star Trek series".

And this right here (said article) is why you're a mickey frickin' BRILLIANT writer, you're meandering about, muttering like a jibbering idiot (savant), and the wife and I are laughing and smiling as you describe the uniqueness of island life and culture to each it's geography.

You've entertained for decades, while being THAT guy who's informed and helped us be more knowledgeable about ourselves and health amongst other things. Like the infamous "Dog" days, brother, when you just let the juices flow, well hells bells, it all just goes off the rails in an entertaining way.

I'll indulge you every week till THEY finally elevate you to "Grand Puba" or some such writing hierarchy thing or another, till then, I'm here for the ride.

Take care, have a GREAT weekend all.
