Greetings BYOB

I have returned after a long absence.

Mr. Shakille, it was my understanding that I would be offering you hospitality on the easternly leg of your journey, sometime in August; has this situation changed?

The guest couch is prepared.

ADBOT LOVES YOU

I am somewhat disappointed to learn this; I had prepared to receive you as an itinerant artist, and hoped you might stay for a few days.

I am glad, however, that you feel your journey made a satisfactory conclusion.

Dry your tears, gentle tree frog.

I do not know why I am telling you this, except that reading the thread jogged my memory, but

it is perhaps of minor interest to someone that the suicide of Mr. David Foster Wallace was an extremely important event in my life.

Not because I hold the man and his work in high esteem (I do not) or because I knew him personally (I did not, though I have known some who did), but because, if David Foster Wallace had not killed himself at the precise time that he killed himself, I would never have met the person who became my mentor, and my life would in all probability be very different.
