@keenan I want to give you a hug.
I felt every word of this in my bones. I haven’t spoken to my Dad’s family in years for many similar reasons. I don’t feel their absence every day, but when I do it hurts.

Do you want a membership? No.

Would you like insurance on your controller? No.
Would you like insurance on the game? Fucking what??

@imyke I think a 3-4 hour episode of Cortex is absolutely acceptable because there are only 12 or 14 episodes a year. You’ll never hear me complain that there’s too much Cortex.
Whether you and Grey would survive doing shows that long on the regular is a separate question.
