Best analysis of the year concluding I am likely to read. I'll turn to Dave Barry's month by month for laughter and Deece X for cogent insight. Happy New Year, brother.

Thanks for your praise and your continued support. I'm a little light-headed just being in the same sentence as Dave Barry. It's like I feel whenever I am in the same sentence with the writer Jim Moore.

Happy New Year!

Your prosaic writing is a fabulous gift that keeps on giving. You romanticize the best in mankind and suffer fools irreverently as it should be. Your friendship is a diamond shining bright and I look forward to many more breakfast or lunches together in Austin or Marathon, as 2023 roles out. May you receive this year as another sign that you are here for a purpose and your friends know exactly what I am talking about.

My favorite books were: The Governor and the Colonel, A Dual Biography of William P. Hobby and Oveta Culp Hobby by Don Carlton; The Truth and Beauty, How the Lives and Works of England's Greatest Poets Point the Way to a Deeper Understanding of the Words of Jesus by Andrew Klavan; Anam Cara, A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O'Donohue; Lifting the Veil, Imagination and the Kingdom of God by Malcom Guite; and The Word within the Words by Malcom Guite.

As creative writing came alive for you in 2022, reading and writing poetry came alive for me.
