ANOTHER YEAR IN THE BOOKS
I can't believe we're still doing this. Not the newsletter, just all of this. We still wstch the Sixers and talk about it twice a week and go on trips to the midwest in the winter? We still ask people we just met if they'd rather shave all of the hair off their head or eat things totally drowned in ketchup?
This is the seventh season that we've done the Rights To Ricky Sanchez. To give some context as to how far it's all come, the Sixers have more wins so far before Christmas than they had in the entirety of any of the first three seasons we did this. We were so innocent.
I am so happy we're here, and so thankful we're here. And when I say "we," I don't mean just me, Mike, AU (or Kristen, Tanner, or Zainab, or Abbie, or anyone who does anything for us), I mean the collective "we" including anyone reading this email, or listening to the pod, or wearing a shirt, or showing up at a 5K or donating to some GoFundMe you just heard about because we asked you to.
Our group has been an inspiration to me in a very real way, and proof that ultimately we all just want to do good. Thank you for all of the causes you've supported in our name, the support you've given each other, the kindness you show both online and in person, and for making sure we keep doing this.
The entire point of life is to give and receive love, and unbelievably this experience has made sure we all do a lot of it. Most of the time.
We'll see you at Two-Way Night, or in Indy for Fly The Process, or wherever. Thanks for another year of this stupidity.
We've got a cool new addition coming to the pod that we'll announce in the next week or two (is Mike pregnant??). Until then, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and if you don't celebrate either, have a great day.
Love,
Spike (with full support from Mike, AU and Kristen)
