Hi, Linda. I don’t know if this is where I should put this – years of reading TWOP makes me apprehensive about putting comments in the wrong place – but during a lull at work, I decided to check out your portfolio and saw the Colin and the ox excerpt highlighted and had to read it again. I found the ox section and all these years later, you moved me to tears and belly laughs. Thank you so much for the laughter you have provided and I am so glad I have thingswhatthings to read regularly. Keep up the great writing and good luck on the root canal. I had a crown that got old and the root canal only hurt my bank account.

Hi Linda! Just an FYI – due to the TWoP redesign, the links to your recaps aren’t working correctly. They are leading to the homepage, not the individual recaps. Just a heads up!
