And, in case any of you doubted my guy’s ability to be both hyperbolic and kind of a good writer–this is from a piece he wrote recently (and he even spelled ‘maelstrom’ right!):
“I was in the Gettysburg Museum, and was silently crying my heart out in a maelstrom of anguish and depression.”
The piece then goes on to describe how buying a red plush teddy bear helped assuage the anguish. Because, you know, red plush teddy bears do such things.

I have heard that Gettysburg is a moving place, but that was from folks older than I. Parents and teachers, for example.
