Always happy to see a new report pop into my inbox. This one made me smile, laugh, and get a little teary-eyed. Sending you big hugs, my friend.

As for Moonlighting, I was a big fan of it during it's first run when I was honestly probably too little to understand most it (I was 8 when the show started). But I loved the fast paced dialog, and I thought Bruce Willis was cute, so. . . I also loved The Dream Sequence episode, and for some reason, "I Told You I Love You" stuck as a core memory for me - that song and scene still popping into my head from time to time and taking residence for a little while. I am definitely looking forward to rewatching the series.

I wasn't a huge fan of Moonlighting but we all crammed into my college dorm room to watch it because my roommate had a TV (and then Max Headroom right after it). I do remember it fondly. I'm a few years older than you. My high school TV was the time of "Shogun" and "V" (the miniseries) and the TV knockoffs of Indiana Jones (Bring Em Back Alive; Tales of the Gold Monkey) and Blue Thunder (Blue Thunder, Airwolf) and so forth.

In the spirit of thank yous, I want to thank you for your writing. I've seen you at conventions since I moved to Texas in 2015 and began reading your writings a few years ago. I've enjoyed your writings. The older I get, the more I want to thank the creators whose works I have enjoyed. Richard Moll (Bull on Night Court) passed away recently and I never sent him a thank you, which I regret now, but I learned that John Larroquette still has an X-Twitter account so I sent him a thank you for his work over the years. I hope he sees it. We have to thank people while they're still with us.
