Today’s newsletter was supposed to be an opportunity for me to try Substack’s reposting feature (“crossposting”) by sharing another writer’s work on my page.

I knew immediately the writer you’d most want to read: R. Eric Thomas, author of a book of humor essays called Here for It.

To my surprise, I couldn’t find Mr. Thomas’ newsletter on Substack because he has a newsletter… elsewhere. Why, I wonder? If you’re reading this,

R. Eric Thomas

, come on over, you’d have a blast here!

There are so many outstanding pieces I could link, but I don’t want to steal the joy of your discovery. Instead, warm up with his funny recollection about meeting and marrying author Ann Patchett: “Here for It #313.” After that, rabbit-hole your way into the rest of Mr. Thomas’ work.

I’ll be back next week, and meanwhile, checking daily to see if R. Eric Thomas has moved his newsletter to Substack, per my request. Happy Sunday!
