I am grateful for your all kind words. I’d say I don’t deserve them but that would make me a liar in the eyes of the many children who look up to me for their daily definition of integrity.
I would also like to specifically thank you all for omitting the couple of times when I saved the earth or the odd galaxy or two from certain destruction/ abominable evil/ 80s women’s haircuts.
No really, I know how much it cost you to keep such things to yourselves but, truly, as the berber tribes of the Amazon used to say: “Only a fool looks at the sun head-on”. Of course, they were made into the real fools by the sunglasses industry and most died of shame (or was it cholera?).
In any case, thank you. You bring me much joy, my dear subalterns.
