one of the best graffiti in town has been painted over

Thread from one of the truly good ones. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Glenn on one of his books, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would love to do it again! Please read, share, and chip in if you can.

Hi, folks, a little personal news. In mid-November, I'm getting my aortic valve replaced via open-heart surgery. As scary as that sounds, my prognosis is excellent. This is fairly personal health news, and I'm posting publicly for two reasons.

I just realized while I have a signed copy of Six Centuries, I do not have a signed copy of the book we worked on together. I just placed an order to chip away just a little at your medical bills. Cheers mate.

Thanks for sharing Glenn. Jacki and I wish you nothing but good news and smooth sailing from here on. Happy we live in the age of medical miracles, despite the sick way that we have to pay and fund it. As I already have a signed copy I’ll be sure to repost. Anything else I can do please holler. 🫀🫶🏻
