Full Disclosure; I am not a writer, I just play one on Substack. I know, you’re surprised to learn that. Yes, I make the occasional typoe, and my grammar could be gooder, and maybe you never recognized those times I had disabused the Viscount’s English, but I just have to fester up before I’m outed as an intelligentsia imposter.
Strap up, y’all just need to hear this.
When I’m publishing among the Heavy Hitters here in The Bigs, where all of you highly educated pundits, you masters of all things serious and profound, whose literary brilliance I couldn’t compete with using my Fischer-Price education, I found something quite shocking.
I’m, shocked, SHOCKED to tell you this! ＜("0 ")＞
For the past two years I have stood on the pocket-protectors of giants. I post what’s going on in my little world of artists as best I can and learn as I go. So far, so good, right?
But, as it turns out, that after all this time, despite my gaffes, I couldn’t find anyone of you who treated me like I didn’t belong, or belittled my questions when I jumped onto a thread, or sent withering insults, nope - you just ignored me like you should…
JUST KIDDING!
Everyone. Every. One. Of. You. Have been super-duper kind. At least among the people I follow and subscribe to, I find this place to be rather special. Don’t you think?
I just wanted to say Thank You for pretending to care.
KIDDING AGAIN!
Seriously, thank you for the engagement and thank you for the moral support as well.
Sincerely,
Dave

Love the blog. Your carpentry skills are desperately needed in the village. Please let me know when we can expect you.
Woodworking does not tolerate false people nor does it seem to attract them much. Rule by trees, while quite forgiving in ways, is still rule by powerful forces and we come to respect and love them so.
