I love everything about this.

Your candor — love me, hate me. But also? Miss me (if you’re not familiar with how this is used here = “move along now, lad”).

Your plain and consistent application — rule doesn’t vary according to who you’re engaging.

Your lightness — unlike all of America, you don’t take yourself too seriously.

Your approach to the human stain — personal defects are a thing, but it’s totally up to you if that thing is fatal.

This is good stuff. You’re too far to kidnap, but that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about it.

One thing: you say you’re “obviously” not from the US. I suspected this from your first comment on the other piece (“colour"), but it wasn’t obvious obvious. At least not then. So, what gives?
