I hope all is well with you, Adryana. I know you seemed a bit ticked off on the last Famboogie. It is easy to become overwhelmed by the dipsticks of the world. But, don’t waste your time and energy on them. I work a part-time job in collections at a music store. It would be easy for me to think that everyone is a deadbeat. But, then I remember all the myriad customers who pay their bills on time, and my faith in people is restored. You and Patrick are doing an amazing job. I have learned and continue to learn so much via your broadcast and your writings. I am grateful for that. We need our Pistol Packin’ Mama to be healthy. So, take those deep breaths, take some breaks from your work, and know that the majority, though, perhaps, silent majority, of us really do appreciate all you do.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement and the support Craig. The overwhelming support I've gotten since that last Famboogie has been extremely heartwarming. I'm wrapping up a new story for Substack this week and am back on the path of gratitude :) Thanks for filling my bucket!

Xo,

Adryana

You’re badass, Chica! Yeah, I could hear the sound effects. Y’all need to produce this one. Maybe an episode as an anthology of short stories like this?

I love this story. I agree with Brian…this would make a fun RPA story, similar to the “Vicks Vaporub” story. At first you had me choking back tears, while you sat alone with the tea set and stuffed animals, but that payback at the end is classic Adryana! 😊 Also, I always wanted to own a little white house with a white picket fence. It was a dream of mine that I had all my life, but here I am at 74 in a small apartment. Hearing your story brought back some wonderful dreams of a young Craig. Your writings are terrific! Keep them coming, Baby Beast!!!
