You know, it's true, John. All my life there has been a gatekeeper - and sometimes it was me - or someone between me and my readers. We do what we do because we love it, but also because we have some things we want to share - period - and in peace.

Congratulations, Toots!

Hugs from here.

I think A-I captured your style pretty accurately. I'm glad to have found you on Substack after having met you briefly through a mutual, now departed, friend and having followed your pieces in the Nashua Telegraph back in the day. You have made me reconsider title fights, crack open a few baseball books, spin some Roxy Music discs, reread a MarkTwain short story, listen a bit more closely to Bruce Springsteen and look up some FSU college football stats. I look forward to your Substack pieces and your Neil Young book.

I think I would implode if I didn’t jump in right away with my heartfelt “Congratulations!”! This is quite a milestone, and I’ve really enjoyed reading your stories. Good on you, John! I appreciate you ~ Here’s to your road to 1000 ⭐️
