I just wanted to make it clear for the casual reader, just in case.

Ian Daffern, everybody! Terrific guy!

I should note, for the record, that he’s one of the smartest and most together that I have the pleasure of knowing today. He always was, of course, but that didn’t keep him from jumping in with both feet.

This was another creative writing assignment, by the way. Certain elements are fictionalized. I guess it’s based on a true story.

Specifically, I remember you arguing “Guys, IAN DAFFERN is telling you that this is a bad idea. IAN DAFFERN! How can you still be considering it?”
