Will, I think you have found your groove and form with this piece.

Fantastic writing, Will. I'm really eager to hear more further adventures of Dougie (or any other Boston lowlife for that matter).

I respect how far you're pushing the prose style with an exuberant creative force. At its best it is really

exhilarating, really satisfying and... you know... good.

Woo hoo! So much energy, I read this before I was fully caffeinated but it woke me up right speedy. Chance of some love for my frozen shoulder?

Just heard from Doug he asked me to say “I love your frozen shoulder.” I imagine relief is flowing though you right now
