David, BRAVO!
I think someone like Slate or Rolling Stone might publish this!
Your prose style is wonderful, with nuggets in nearly every line, your little asides and inside jokes that aren’t too inside to be understood! I think you span the generations in your writing, and well, you can TELL them I said publish it! Everyone, or well everyone I know, which is a little different than literally everyone, I guess…has some sort of plot like this snorkeling through his or her brain, emerging from the depths for a moment now and then though we try not to WISH death upon anyone…(but if it’s NATURE!?? :-))
Go, David!
Onward!
Thanks for sending me the link!
