I actually used “canny” not so long ago to describe the taste of a beer I was drinking from a can. Once I said it, I tried to follow up with a joke about how shrewd the manufacturers were to get away with selling such an inferior product. I thought I was very clever but no one agreed and I too felt alienated. Knowledge of this word is clearly a curse.

I wish I had written that like this:

I once heard a comedian do a bit on uncanny (“How come you only ever hear uncanny? Never just plain canny?”). But I think the word somewhat frequently (“That canny old fox!”), and when the audience laffed, I felt alienated.

It was pretty nice, but nowhere near luxurious. Somewhat easy to overlook.

Last week I had a dream that I went to Hawaii and the woman in the hotel room next to mine never once emerged from behind her door.

Uncanny.

Actually, your dream sounds pretty good to me. Was the hotel nice, like a Radisson, or was it more of a creepy-twin-girls-in-the-hallway kind of place?

I’m sorry to say that I don’t know how the hell long you’re going to be gone, but it’s very impressive to a pedestrian like me. Last night I dreamt I went to Hawaii and stayed in my hotel room the whole time, if that gives you any idea of: a) my sensibilities; and b) how amazing your trip is to me.

THANKS BRO. I MISS YOU. I CAPITALIZE BECAUSE I CARE.

I have been ludicrously remiss in updating--next day or two I will try to get caught up. Short version: I will be in Saigon for the next five months. I've already started a job here. I have also been bowling twice in the past week. Tonight I went to a standing-room only outdoor concert by Cat Tuyen, a transsexual Vietnamese pop star.

I am ashamed, bro, that I am arrived so late to congratulate you on your hemi-semi-demi-anniversary. Have a clean glass of heavily filtered natural spring water on me, my good man.

Keep on keepin’ on.
