How decades-long friendships can still be present and renewed through ritual, creativity, and adult play. To sustain connections among the far-flung souls who remain important to me and to each other, sometimes you have to get creative.
Thanks, Neil! Another great edition of SHORTER! Pam started and energized an amazing tradition of connection. I miss her, and she lives on in so many of my friendships today. So grateful to her and to you. Thank you!
Neil, fantastic! Brings tears to my eyes of losing our friend Pam but what fun adult play that continues with the “tale of the whale.” You indeed have been such a wonderful friend, connecting so many of us. Cheers to all of our friends.❤️
And I learned about Earlham College
Thanks Burt. We need to get together again and talk politics.

Neither Sheila or I can remember what it was that we had been passing back and forth. Just that it was produced by "The assistant shit maker".
You guys put it on my truck and I didn't notice it. It's probably still living on the streets of DC somewhere.
Those were the days. Hope all is well with you and yours. ASM
Thanks Neil. So much fun to read Shorter. Waiting for a blue whale to appear somewhere in Marseille…
By the way a very similar pic of Rangeley lake was part of Guy’s last photo show.
We should start a new tradition with Dan, Sheila, Joanne and Lee.
Totally agree. 👍🏻
Good story

This is a great tradition and it was fun to trace its origin story with full details I never quite knew until now.
