In New Orleans with my book club to see Lyle. We ran into him at the airport in Austin and told him we were flying out just to see him after reading (and loving) your book. He suggested that we let you know! Can’t wait until tonight’s show (after a carb-filled dinner.)

These nice ladies introduced themselves to me this morning at Austin Bergstrom as book-club-member fans of our beloved @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social. They told me they’d bought tickets to our show tonight in Metairie, Louisiana, because they’d read Duchess’s book. Thank you, Your Grace.

Maybe that chirping sound was me.

Remember me as one who encouraged you to keep up your daily carbs, even when I had pressing engagements elsewhere.

You're always very kind to me, Dave.

Cut yourself a cross section of any October afternoon, and beneath the shale level you're going to find a hard nugget of old caramel. It'll still taste good.

Coyotes are well known for their reverent attention during dance recitals, but do as you must.

If you're comfortable with the level of evil currently afoot not to dance it away, then by all means.

I would rather die than discourage you from letting your freak flag fly.

Little less conversation, little more ritualistic dancing in the moonlit forest to ward off evil, please.

Just tooling around the lake district today in my Mercedes S-class pinewood derby car. Anything happening out there I should know about?

I think the universe holds me back from people until they're emotionally ready for the impact. Hello, sweets. I'm glad to see you.

Why would you intrude upon his privacy when he's in his chosen spot?

I see a lot of you trying to cheer each other up and cheer each other on. It all adds up. I'm keeping a tally.

I love that you began proselytizing first.
