Once again, you bring joy and laughter to an otherwise depressing world news day! Just when the world knocks you on your ass, something comes along that brightens the day and makes you smile the smile of living vicariously through someone else and learning lessons without having to go through the experience. Thank you for your service!

Thanks for reading it. It was all - unfortunately - true.

Having personally overdosed on cannabinoid cocktail gummies, this made me break out in sympathetic sweat. My lights went out somewhere between the bathroom and the bed, and I awoke on the floor. Oddly, hitting my head on the tiles woke me up. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way round? Now I have become appreciative of the stark lucidity of insomnia.

LOL. Now that you’ve done ‘shrooms and the edibles, I can’t wait to read about your experiences with ayahuasca! I mean, the munchies are one thing, but simultaneous projectile evacuation from both ends of the body seems like a hell of a way to find enlightenment.

I won’t try that. But famous last words.

Hilarious!

Never having been a teenaged boy, nor a 62 year old male, as with all great writing there are universal truths I can directly identify with. Still chuckling….Thank you!

I guess there are benefits to your kids, wife, and minister not reading your essays. Though I suspect they do. Isn't it nice to know you haven't aged in 46 years and are still the same 16 year old boy? That's a good thing. I suspect when next your dog park friend offers you a peanut butter cookie and you decline, he will say, "Hey, about this chocolate chip cookie instead? I baked it myself. Only eat half." Stay forever young.
