“One of the greatest gifts is to give gifts.  It makes me feel memorable.  Who's to say if I end up here if I had never given my dragon away? “

So strange, Fis. A week ago I bought a dragon at an art show, a green handmade doll dragon. I didn’t need or want a dragon; I bought it because it a young artist made it and needed a sale. Today, I gave it away, a gift to a stranger, who said: “You just made my day.” And then today, I read this piece.

I remember an alternative version of how you and your wife met—is that the first date you mention in this article? About the band gig that went wrong?

...yeah that is part of it for sure (specifically this part https://cansafis.substack.com/p/bad-paradise )...all it took to meet her was to bartend, start a band because of a drink we made up, break up, throw a rave, make up, break her tooth while improvising, and then a persistent strand of e-mails about ALF...i should probably track those down at some point...
