Comments on Text Message from San Francisco

This reminds me of why I love F. Scott Fitzgerald with all of my heart. Thank you.

Oh, the Jack Hanley! I don't stop by near as often as I should, considering that it's in my neighborhood.
Hope you're having a great time here! Bundle up!

Bundle up? Dee, I just got home to Seattle, where it's about 75 degrees below freezing. By comparison, the weather in San Francisco -- you're right, it was colder than I've ever known it to get in San Francisco -- was sweltering.

The world is truly ending.

I have a question: why do people say/write things like: "Everything you need to know about writing—and everything you need to know about life—is in that paragraph." It is a patently untrue statement. And what's more, the writer knows it's not really true, and the reader knows it's not really true. Moreover, it is meant to be read knowing that the writer does not mean it in earnest. So why bother writing it? I am genuinely curious.

hmm, Matt has a point.

Just a block and a half from my house, I've never noticed this place?

And... uh, what what? How will I recognize this massive blow if it doesn't show it's affect all at once? I am a fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald's, who is a million times the writer I could be, but really, this is Myspace-blog level stuff here.

I'm with Matt.

Hack.
