I've been reading your blog for the last two years and always enjoyed it, but lately the eternal "etc" really starts annoying me.
From a marketing perspective: isn't it time to find new ways of communicating, while staying true to your brand?
most humbly,
T.

Good morning to you, too!

All this talk of meaning can become horribly self-aggrandizing if one isn't careful.

Hey hugh, if you want to conquer the world let me know, i'll join your army.
Conquering the world is SO 1999.

I will frame this one.
This poem was my opening gambit at an undergraduate party 20 years ago. It worked. This will make an odd but neat wedding aniversary present.
