Slightly telegraphed (I’m always on the lookout for the twist when it comes to your tales) but expertly delivered (which I’m sure your adoring fans have already let you know, so I don’t know why I’m bothering to waste my breath). Keep swinging away, slugger!

That’s a great thought, Matt.
Despair is like a state of stagnancy.
Zero movement.

It’s sad when a person has no control.
