Good lord, been there done that! I once lurked for an hour around a "new book" table, watching to see if anyone would pick up my book, leaf through it, and say "I must have this! And notify the Pulitzer committee and National Book Award industrial complex! Bernstein is a genius!" Surprisingly, this did not happen.

Thank, Christine. I'm going out of my mind waiting for tomorrow's premier. If you want me, I'll either be live tweeting as per the PBS request, or hiding in a fetal position under the bed, exhausted from all my pre-show neuroses.

An opportunity to smile. Not only at the level of anticipation and anxiety that occupies the deep matter inside the back of my head, but the Chat GPT responses that can double as the coping mechanisms that occupy the front of my mind.
