Me, please.

a) Because you knew me way the hell back before I was me. And we understood each other, even that long ago.
b) That would be the X-Men, of course, and all permutations thereof.
c) I don't think I was more honored than when I made a guest appearance in the Late Show.
d) "It's called the lambada, Mr. DeFalco...." I have never been able to get that line out of my head.
e) Back in those days -- back before we arrived on the Internets -- what's the most important thing you've taken from those days?
f) It's tough, but I'll have to say this one. Because times change and we find the things that really matter in life.

a) Well, I think we had a lot in common even then, and we had that whole Shared Outlet thing. Twenty years later (and yes, it will be that come January or so), the commonalities and the Shared Outlet have changed, but you know what they say about the more things change, yes?

b) Yeah, that one was a dunk. (I imagine you've never read my Power Rangers novella.)

c) I had so much fun with that, and I'm just glad I did you justice. And not all that long ago I came across the (handwritten) letter you sent me shortly after said guest appearance. I don't know that I ever wrote back, and I apologize for that part.

d) Meep, another hopelessly dated reference. Such are the perils of putting pop culture into your satire.

e) The idea that telling stories is important and worthwhile, in spite of what they were trying to teach me in school at the same time. The idea that even if you have an audience of a dozen people (or fewer!), it's still worth doing, and trying to do well. And the knowledge that geeks, nerds and outcasts are truly My People. (Before then, I'd only suspected it.)

f) There's something hopelessly cute about a laughing baby. As cynical as I am and/or have been, that truth remains.

Thanks for the memories!
