Hello and thank you for clicking on the Nightly Pleasures podcast. I am the host and the author of the piece you're about to hear today, The Grey Night. Still alive and feeling pretty okay. I don't really have much to talk about because I'm still trying to come out of my big old internetless hole.

And I've been working on major projects that are way past due because of depression last year and all kinds of stuff.

So I'm still taking it pretty easy on the old social level and hanging out and that

kind of thing because I'm just in a productive period and I love myself when I make work. and I love myself when I make work.

You all love me when I make work.

Very excited to just, like, you know, be living in the hot summer in the big city and all the same problems.

I've always had my whole life, but, like, now I don't feel sick.

And, you know, now I don't have to shake people down for 10 bucks so I can

keep the lights on, you know, and without all that stress and everything that I've lived,

that I've lived through all my life, especially in recent years, mostly. Because, I mean,

there's some periods of, I was doing real well financially, but like overall, you know,

it's been pretty terrible. So you come back from no internet out of a depression hole,

but you don't have all the normal problems that you've had. Let me just tell you something.

Makes it makes it kind of easier, you know? It really does. So there's that going.

I feel really good.

I'm sorry about teasing big projects and things like that,

especially since they're not all Grey Knight related

and their personal things.

But that's, you know, really where I'm at

and where I'm going with,

and I don't want to tease too many jokes, and I don't want to promise too many things and yada, yada, yada.

Like, I want to let the big work speak for itself.
