Jesse Jesse, so we need to revise our origin story. This is amazing news.

I was so glad you found this.

Tell the people what you found. Okay, so I was so glad you found this. Tell the people what you found.

Okay, so I was digging around in the deep, deep, deep archives of my email the other day

I was looking for a message from you. And in tight, like usually I would type in, you know, Jesse, but for some reason I typed in the words J single.

And this message popped up from my outbox, the message that I sent. The date was June 12th, 2006, which was crazy.

Yes. I didn't even know the internet existed back then.

I had forgotten about this.

This is like a post 9-11 world, but just barely.

You could almost still smoke in restaurants

in this year, a long time ago. so this was sent to J single at the blog reader dot net not a

blog reader the blog reader and a subject line, blog reader.

I am interested in your opportunity for content contributors.

Two spaces after the period there.

This is in 2006.
