One of the happiest times of the year is the @DrunkMonkeysWeb pop culture issue; they were even kind enough to include something of mine. drunkmonkeys.us/2017-posts/2…
Once my grandmother gave me a plum. I said I liked it. Every time I visited my grandmother for the rest of her life, she had plums for me. This is also how social media algorithms work.
