Ladies and gentlemen, the thing that starts our engine is broken."

Dear Reader, Oh, what a week it has been! I missed our little conversations with you, truly. I’ve been running around Europe like a madman and people have been readily handing over Euros for my books. As much as I hate late capitalism, this part is really nice.
Fourteen drinks a week is not enough to keep a man alive. When my doctor asked me if I had more than fourteen drinks I responded of course not, thinking he meant per day. The doctor said, “Not in a day, in a week.” I was compelled to lie.
My favorite part of Switzerland is when you drive in and they pull you over and you have to pay €50 so you know what the visit is going to be like. You want to see our alps? They ain't free, buddy.
You should visit the Islets of Langerhans and love them. I, who do not know you personally, believe that you can do all that you do and give all the love and wit without being so unkind to those little islands. You can do it but very few who have crossed over that much talked about line can do so on their own
Had to admire how you handled *that* question in the Q & A. Only in the leafy climes of Dalkey would someone say how *everyone* they know works for Google.
Gary, have you tried any of the new pretend alcohols? I am trying to cut back myself, so last night I had one of those hop sodas at my usual drinking hour and was surprised to find it slightly satisfying. --P.S. Love your work; that last sentence of "Botched Circumcision" will stay with me for a long, long time.
Augh! You are full of puns in this post, and I'm howling with laughter over it. It makes readers feel as though they're on your trip with you. Regarding your watch, do some wild color as that a plain watch band won't do it justice.Enjoy the rest of your trip and have safe travels.

SolarBeat. The watch with a SoundCloud. Probably
Writers are generally exempt from income tax in Ireland. I guess they figure the extra alcohol sales more than make up for it.

Hilarious and wonderful.
I really love the watch!
The Solar Beat is fantastic!
