I made my life about words, reading them and writing them. I wish I had a more elegant way of telling you all that I love you. I had a good run, made wonderful friends, shared many laughs, and I learned a great many things. I learned… (continued in thread)

@Cbusdiva @carbonaro Roy Benson did it first. Xxoo

A friend bought us tickets to @carbonaro tonight in Athens. I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised! It was such a fun, hilarious and entertaining show and my seven year old loved it. Highly recommend!

@BCDreyer I absolutely miss you, Benjamin.

@FearlessSeeker Same.

@RealMaxMaven Happy Thanxgiving to you, Max! Hope you are doing well 💜🌠

@MattOswaltVA And on Halloween, 1936, the rooftop was the location for the final authorized Houdini seance.

The Knickerbocker Hotel with a pink streak of clouds. Once a hot spot for celebs, Elvis stayed here while shooting Love Me Tender and Rudolph Valentino was a fixture in the bar. They even shot a Mannix episode here. Now it's low income housing for seniors MattOswaltPhoto.com

@CrowGarrett @MatRicardo Bravo!

@BCDreyer I have a minor connection to the guy who wrote the book.

@marcellaruble @ferdinando_MED You are a star.

A fun surprise! Watching a movie and unexpectedly my beautiful friend @marcellaruble appears on the screen! How about that? 😍

@neilhimself God, you’re good.

@TheMerlin4 Proceeding one step at a a time. Some steps are better than others.

After weeks of bouncing between hospitals and rehab clinics, two days ago I was allowed to move back to my apartment. Startedchemo & radiation; so far, no bad reactions, though I'm braced for difficulties from both. With help from many, I may be headed in a good direction.

@wes_chu I once used Nigel Edward Nigel.

@handsomerjack @Rainmaker1973 If you Google the Top Hat Illusion, you should find it
