Love that add, “Are you fed up with seeing the huskies walk off with the best of everything?”

You know, Adam, you definitely missed out by not including the Dumbo reference . While I have no knowledge of Brooklyn whatsoever, I did grow up with Dumbo. Him, I know and love. Years ago, I was holding the vinyl LP in my hand, yes, my parents used to play it on their huge stereo console. I was curious as to why the baby elephant of my childhood had such a derogatory name, so of course I looked it up. I remember seeing that Dumbo had a bit of significance in Brooklyn.

“At the time I thought of the story I was sitting on a bench at lower right”. That is exactly how I pictured you , sitting in a similar spot , dreaming up this story.

Did you watch Free Solo in the theatre when it first came out, with Alex Honnold?

Great photo of you and Melanie.

Delightful! Including the Otis Redding treat. As I read the story I had that image of Harold Lloyd in “Safety Last!” and even screenshot the iconic images of hanging from the clock hands and climbing on the flagpole before remembering you can out images in comments. Oh well. Thanks for the BTS. Always love a download from your creative mind.
