    Our baseless optimism which is so much worse than despair. How true.

    Hi, many thanks 🙏 I listened to this around half an hour ago, & my initial reaction to the story was *comme ci, comme ça* // but now (around 30 min later) I feel very different l about this peculiar story, and I can see the humor of it all. However the dog though… 🫶 Good night, & sleep well 😴 Respectfully, Grace 🩰
