Michael, you must finish that Monster Road novel. I was really taken by it. But then I enjoy your very observant and true-to-life writing.

Middle school tore my friendship groups apart too. And my school in Endwell looked a lot like yours, with the same kind of cars in front of it!

What a blast from the past to hear Sugarloaf, and love Abandoned Luncheonette and early Hall and Oates. It really brings back that era.

…something pretty rediculously rad about the simplicity of the single telephone, single telephone line…a household of sic there were times any of us needed it all at once, but the fact that communication wasn’t anyone everyone all at once added some magic and purpose to even the most mundane of phone calls…some day we are only going to be able to afford simplicity in a subscription…
