Wow, I happened to see this just as I was about to go to bed. Vonnegut was one of my favorite authors. I remember reading “Breakfast of Champions” on a plane when traveling to California and the guy next to me thought it was about Wheaties. I tried to explain it to him, but he just didn’t get it.

Thanks for the kind words, Les. It is you who inspired me when we talked in your office after the last bloggers bootcamp. We are a bunch of nerds.
