About This Card

Alright, squad, I’m back. I’ve been off writing a book. It’s finished now - what did I miss? I haven’t been watching the news or anything - how is Bernie Sanders doing against Jeb Bush? Me? I’m feeling great. I grew a beard for a while and lived in my back yard, burned furniture to keep warm. Writing that book sure was a process. But we’ll talk later. For now: Happy Columbus Day.

I don’t think a monotheistic god turning out to be a giant spider is the worst thing that could happen. There are far more awful possibilities.
