My ne’er-do-well cousin has written a book that, within days of its publication, is the 78th most often purchased book at amazon.com. I find it almost impossible to believe that I share any genetic material with the author of this work, but we look enough alike that, unfortunately, there’s no gainsaying the obvious, if disturbing, truth.

Must shower. J-

    If I were not so madly in love with your writing, Faustus, I would immediately have to stop reading your blog for fear of contamination! My greatest sympathies….

    Of course, you know what you have to do now: Author the “First Complete Guide to Handling Assholes” in retaliation.
