Omg, Neko Case!!! You are one of my absolute top favorite artists. Ever.

Deep bow. I am beyond honored to hear from you.

P.S. Is there more we can share? I have so much work and you might like a bunch of it or perhaps even use it in song. I also have a few books but lost my former agents due to disability (mine.)

Wonderful, wonderful piece, Judith. "Give good headline" is remarkable - also: "Every cover had two big boobs on one blonde girl." I could not stop laughing. You are brilliant.

This is so beautiful. I am also missing the little girl that my daughter used to be this morning and also feeling like nothing. But time moves on and we can either strap ourselves in for the ride or be left behind to breathe the fumes. Thank you for writing such a gorgeous piece. I clicked past everything else this morning but I'm glad I stopped here.

Stunning! That brain is more supple and open and fearless than most. Glissando. just dancing and bouncing off words. I love the associations. I love the originality. I love that you keep going on. And — apart from the words, or maybe you would say a part of the words – I love the hat.

Judith, this is hilarious and heartwarming and sad. I knew nothing about the truck. That's terrifying, but I'm glad your new brain allows you to still write so brilliantly.

Excellent, thought provoking piece. Time honored recall of so many past important and ridiculous stories.

Thank you.

Judith, all of your essays are brilliant. This one, however, is the one I’m going to bookmark and return to many times. I am in awe. Thank you, Sari, for showcasing such an extraordinary writer.

You are an extremely clever writer, Judith, and I relished your word play!

And back in the day, I used to get embarrassed when reading HGB’s Cosmo article titles. It is amazing, isn’t it . . how other animals have managed to have sex without Cosmo tutoring them?

Clearly a drunk driver could not dim that magnificent brain! Outstanding essay (also hilarious and sweet).
