To be honest, I don’t know how to properly thank someone on this platform, but I feel like this is a good place to start. Thank you, Adam, for hosting this jamboree, extravaganza, etc. It was the most fun. And I know I speak for a lot of people when I say thank you for making a blog that is eye-opening, silly, and authentic. It’s simply just the best.
Who is this Cheryl Hooley and why doesn't she have her own blog? Her piece hit me hard, and perfectly articulated a conversation I've been trying to have with my adult child (mostly inside my own head). Thank you, Adam, for the seeing the genius in this post and bringing it to the rest of us!
Exactly! It was the first one I've read of this, but it's so good. I'm in my 40s, so I'm not that far removed from being on the child side of this equation but am also staring down the barrel of my own kids' pending maturity, and goodness...
Why was this man in the checkered shirt apparently throwing a bale of hay at your dad? That could be a straw man argument if it isn’t hay.
Apologies to the grand prize first place winner regarding surname pronunciation as I see oe as ö and pronounce it “er” as in her. Bad habits from another glottal group.
Also as I work in a wastewater (“sewage”) treatment plant lab, his being a connoisseur of crap matches up with my doing craptacular work at the crap factory, with his connoisseur using the eu from French as the “er” in her.

I emailed her and she never responded! Cheryl: if you're out there, please start a blog.

Glad to have your goat. I will guard him and cherish him closely. Thanks for the honorable mention!
The winner you chose was really brilliant. The writer thinks like Kurt Vonnegut (that’s a high compliment).
Congratulations to the Winners!
Happy to see Kevin Munger made the post, that whole 'Never Met a Science' blog is fantastic.
Magnificent reading - thank you!
Delightful. All of it.
Dear Adam, can I translate part of the following article into Spanish with links to you and a description of your newsletter?

This is wonderful! I love Rabbit Cavern, and gleefully look forward to discovering the rest.
