This was funny and sentimental and full of gold CansaFis

I especially loved: β€œFrom the day I met Sarina I sensed we should share time with each other. The doings that filled it up mattered less than the filling itself. Β  Love is time.”

Also chocolate milk and tetherball were my two favourite things like all of 4th grade

Loved this, so many funny and interesting and beautiful and curious aspects to this essay. Never thought about 9 like that before… it is a pretty cool number. Also Gordie Howe’s (a great Canadian hockey player) number. How did the Taco Bell experiment go? And I think it’s time for that TV show featuring your life to get its pilot.

Well, this is beautiful... The way you play with language makes something inside my soul sing, CansaFis. It's just the right amount of un-balance to remember to pay attention to the beauty you create. Looking forward to the next part...

Welp. This was precious. Muy bien. 10/10

Also, Sinatra looks oddly like Oppenheimer there -- just me?
