Jayzuz, I didn’t know I was dealing with royalty here. Or was that a Kentucky Colonel? I forget.
I had a bunch of short stories (Articles? Satire? Good bathroom reading material?) that I wrote when in my 30’s that my father practically begged my to send off to the New Yorker. Unfortunately I had run out of stamps at the time so it never happened. Hell, I could’ve been famous. Acorns could grow into banana trees too.
Nice to make your acquaintance, sir.

Well I never did manage to crack the New Yorker market, although I still try from time to time. I don’t actually read the thing any more, but I’d love to appear in the same magazine that published most of my favorite humorists of the past.

Hello, Larry–
Great reading. I’m laughing and crying; nothing new there. Age has made you more brillliant than ever– funnier and crazier, too.
Glad you’re happy and well!
