Gang, this was great to listen to! There was so much it's hard to remember! I love the whole "cracking of a new book spine" thing, Matthew, and your tree house book and story about the tool in your sculpture (that brought tears to my eyes) and Kelly, you brought up Beekle! Oh, my. All great stuff. Thanks and happy 100th celebration, Matthew! :D
