I AM NOT SURE I AM CAPABLE OF EXPLAINING how much I enjoy Mr. Dave Hill and his band of clothed men,

VALLEY LODGE!

That is all.

THANK YOU, everyone, for making the TODAY-IN-THE-PAST-CAST the number 2 best “selling” podcast on iTunes, IMPLAUSIBLY ENOUGH.

I AM VERY GRATEFUL.

HOWEVER, I realize that some of you may be saying:

“I LIKE ALL THESE FAKE FACTS, but I am sorry that I cannot pay money for them, and also hear them all at once, FOR HOURS.”

SO I WOULD BE REMISS in not pointing out that the ENTIRETY of “Today In The Past” is also included on the full AUDIOBACK EDITION of the book.

NOT TO MENTION:

MANY MORE FAKE FACTS

INCREDIBLE GUESTS including Coulton! Maddow! F Tompkins! Dick Cavett! Ira Glass! Vowell! Galifianakis! Gervais!

AND YOUR NARRATOR: Paul Rudd.

AND ALSO: 700 mole-man names, recorded before a live studio audience, UNDER THE GROUND.

SERIOUSLY: I am very proud of this effort, and especially the effort of the astonishing actual talents who made it happen, IMPLAUSIBLY ENOUGH.

AND I WOULD BE REMISS in not pointing this out, since some do not seem to believe it.

BUT NOW I WILL SAY NO MORE

That is all.

I AM RETURNED FROM THE TOUR, and I shall be posting photographs soon,

INCLUDING ONE OF ME standing before an ICONIC PROP OF TELEVISION.

BUT FIRST I MUST DECOMPOST this desk, and meanwhile ask

YOU ARE PERFECTLY AWARE, aren’t you, that DICK CAVETT is blogging for the NEW YORK TIMES?

IF NOT, make yourself instantly aware by clicking HERE.

That is all.

YOU MAY NOW BEGIN DISMANTLING your tall buildings of paste and papier mache.

IT WAS A LOVELY VISIT with both Lawrence Weschler at the Humanities Festival

AND OF COURSE, the late night Malort club.

I GO TO ANN ARBOR NOW to say hello to the ancient BORDERS #1.

MEANWHILE, I STAND CORRECTED. As per @nickcatal, the photo of me in a viper from my FIRST visit to space is indeed on the Internet.

THAT IS ALL
