No, really. I'm gone!
Hello, Readers All,
It sound like me and the stories are definitely written by me. AleXander has even contributed to this ghostly missive sent from my phone somewhere in Vermont. Presumably. Since I haven’t yet mastered the art of seeing into the future, we’ll just have to hope for the best.
I did manage some new work for this week, although I won’t be doing much writing on the trip. S’ok. I got a serious backlog of published work to draw upon.
But for this week, I am starting with a heartfelt love letter to you: Readers. I’d sound pretty silly writing in a silent room without you.

But readers? Readers are the real treasure!
From the vantage point of a year later and fully vaccinated I’d say the answer to this question is a resounding NO!

What do you do with books you know you’ll never read again?

So, do I really still believe this? I’ll have to get back to you.

And this jewel from AleXander (who just asked if I was going to put next week’s Buttondown together before we left while he’s packing).

Now all I have to do is figure out how to save this as a draft and then send the draft to my phone and then remember to send out the draft late Sunday night from Vermont. What could go wrong?
As ever, many thanks for the reading and responses and support. The hat’s by the door....also as ever (and thanks to last week’s generous souls who dropped coins in there).
https://ko-fi.com/remingtonwriteDon’t bother with the dimly lit excuses or unfounded disguises because I won’t have access to my Remington Write account until I get back. Well, ok, if you really must.
Watch for all new shenanigans next week and thanks again.
