Victory! The glimpse inside the apartment is a major battle in the campaign and I wish our narrator all the best in further stages of this important strategic operation.

I’m fascinated by whatever’s going on with Aggie and Uncle Lou! This was such an interesting, surreal installment.

I forgot to comment on the Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye attachment. "White Christmas" is one of my wife and my favorite movies and is connected to the Lower East Side of New York in a way that's very different from my recent dark stories about the neighborhood. When I was a little boy, I slept over my Grandma Esther's house on Rivington Street and she took me to see "White Christmas." When we left the theater it was SNOWING - just like in the movie. Magic on the Lower East Side.

What a great story. I can see the bright-eyed Sandy in my mind's eye, catching snowflakes on his tongue.

Sometimes I think that you must live parallel lives in different regions of the country. You have such a good understanding of the different types of people who inhabit your story and your imagination. Paper thin is a beautiful little piece - different from your other work and very special.

Thank you, Sandy! Yes, Paper | Thin is pretty different from my other work, and I appreciate you noticing/saying it's special. <3
