Commentary and notes:
I just realized that I never really properly introduced myself. I’m John.

To all of you who have helped me to make this project a success this year, to all of you who have helped me mourn the passing of my mom, and to all of you who have shared a kind thought or helped me out just when I needed it most, thank you. Happy holidays and the best of the new year to you all.
So, you have likely heard the saying that the pen in mightier than the sword. You can make your own joke here if you’d like.

I don’t know that I can explain how I came up with this, except to say that there are sometimes people in this world who would love to run you through their hair. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

I don’t think I’ll be traveling overseas anytime soon. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I think it is ludicrous to have to choose between being visually strip-searched and being groped. When the first post-scanner bomber successfully emerges, I wonder what dignities we’ll lose next? Also, how long until we start seeing the supposedly unkept images presented as “The top 10 hottest scanned babes ever!”? Some parts of the time we live in are amazingly wonderful, and others are just… amazing.
