Not snark, in case that's not obvious -- I genuinely do. I wish I still had the time to sit with things in this way and with this depth, though I never had your penmanship! And I have a lot of admiration for anyone with the short-term memory to be able to cohere a linear disassembly into a coherent picture

I remember just laying on the floor with the listings spread out and listening to music while doing. After a while you just zone out, it's meditative
