Wow, to you, too! I must’ve been paying attention to those feelingly-invisible-pushes-in-one-direction, you know, the ones that insist on getting every bit of available consideration. What gives me a little smile is that I couldn’t for the life of me remember that trumpeter’s name until I searched. Voila! Something was in the air, something insistent. Eh? Thanks for telling me, too.

Yeah, the feel-good is always the top option, you know. Gormless – how funny! I directly looked for its meaning, and I laughed out loud, really. I’ll use it myself, just you wait and see.
My dad was an accountant who’d always ask me three questions almost exclusively: “How’s the car? How’s school? Are you planning to get a real job?”

. He stopped asking that once I got my first tour contract. Poor dear. He might’ve been pretty stunned had I wanted to talk about how much I really loved the scene in which scientists communicated by exchanging tonalities with the ship.
