Man. Your 2008 was way cooler than my 2008. Also: how many lives have you lived?! Very much looking forward to the full memoir one day.

Piecing it all together…. Takes a minute to remember, like Stoner Nick. The pen is willing but the brain is foggy. 😶‍🌫️ appreciate you, Lindsey. Thanks for reading, girl 💕

Also: I bet your 2008 was good too—or, at least, I feel confident you’d write it funny. 🤝

You are such a great story teller...I wanted to find out what happened next, and you left us hanging. Really enjoy your style and this is coming from a 60 year old Literature/Creative Writing (nonfiction) student. Waiting for more of the story....

Thanks Kelly, there’s more in The Notebooks tab on my page if you liked this…. Will give this one a number shortly to aid the read-through but it probably sits between 8 (Ski Season) and 9 (Bluegrass) at the moment in the chronological narrative… next instalment coming soon…

Danny Kass! Great stories... I was drawn strangely into Luge, watching with the sound off, the other evening. Mesmerising.

Try women’s snowboard half-pipe final tonight. Float and spin like jellyfish, talk about mesmerising 🩵

We’re all characters in stories, but there are some great ones here.

Bearman, Wisco Will and Stoner Nick all deserve immortality for sure. ✔️ Not to mention Brodie the dog.
