So much wisdom I'm looking forward to unpacking (the billionaire piece in particular). But for now, the Italian minions on repeat.

I have been checking Spotify for A Drink with a Friend updates. This new one isn't there. Help!

Further...Have you considered putting all these essays into a book? I have read your writing and listened to your podcast for years so I am in a unique position to watching you grow and change. My favorite change is the conversion and overt sharing of faith. I would keep such a collection on my bedside table to read before turning out the lights. Just a thought...

Yeah, I know — it's on my to-do list to fix this morning! Not sure what's up.

I'm one of those Northerners who's starting to see a few leaves changing ... can't wait for full on autumn! Nevertheless, I'm still in shorts today. I have two sons living in Texas (one in Austin, as a matter of fact), so I'm constantly checking on the weather down there and comparing notes with our boys. Not sure I could take the intensity of Texas heat for the long haul, but I do love to visit. May you soon be blessed with blue jeans weather! ;-)

Thank you! It's actually been one of the mildest summers on record for us, so no complaints really...

Just a note, because it matters, I think. The about Jesus and feeding the poor was a quotation from Antonin Scalia, and was cited in the piece as such by Klavan.

"In the late nineties, there was an accident at the Coke factory: someone dropped a Smashmouth CD and a Teen Study Bible into a vat of Surge, and the resulting explosion created Pastor Todd."

I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣
