A Drunk Alligator, 9,000 Missed Shots, and a Skirt on a Sock

This week I pitch you a children's book about an alligator with a drinking problem. He's called The Alligator Interrogator. He's from Derry. He bites liars. Don't worry... the killings are blurred. Then it gets (slightly) more useful: Tupac recorded around 500 songs. Two became top-ten hits. Van Gogh painted 2,000 paintings and sold one. Sabrina Carpenter put out 67 songs before Espresso. Glen Powell auditioned for 19 years before Top Gun: Maverick. So: quantity IS quality. People remember your hits and forget your misses. A winner is just a loser who tried one more time. Plus the game I play with my kids that trains creativity. I held up a slice of mandarin orange and asked, "what does this look like?" My daughter said an eye. Then she looked at the frill on her sock and said, "it's a skirt on a sock." She's right. No script. No framework. Just a chat, like dinner with a friend who had too much coffee. New chat every week. Peace.
