Geez, buddy. I had no idea. But then most everyone is carrying around the weight of generations and their own faults without tipping their hand.
I’m glad you’re still with us. I’m glad you’ve found other Happy Mutants. I’m glad you’re able to look at your past work and empathize enough with who you were to tolerate it; I’m not. I’m glad that you’ve found someone who understands enough of you to tolerate all of you. I’m glad for your writing and look forward to reading more. Maybe even that book one day.

It seems the current iteration of Vancouver has less of a tendency to chew newcomers up and spit them back from whence they came, or else I’m just too damned stubborn. Been here for over 3 decades and still remember not being hired in the early days because I wasn’t referred by a local.
Post-Covid, the BC contingent needs to gather for dinner.

I’m glad you’re back, even with more worry scars. Maybe this improbable year will be the one that scratches the itch and reveals what you need.
