Merry Christmas, Lucian and Tracy. May the holiday season be as peaceful as possible for you and for all of us, so we can hit the ground running again in 2022. Run we must (sigh). Happy Holidays!

Lucian, the word "screed" always affects me like a fingernail on a chalkboard. So, I looked it up to see why I have that reaction and now I know! Your articles, stories, perspectives and the like are NOT, in my opinion "long and tedious" - which is a meaning given to that word. I find your substack full of vigor and interest and I most certainly will continue to subscribe.

Happy holidays to you and your family!

Love this Substack -- both the columns and the commentary are among the most intelligent and thought-provoking I find anywhere. And thanks for the reminder: my credit card was compromised this year so I've got a new number. Off to update my info! Bright Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy New Year, etc.

Merry Christmas old pal. Seems like yesterday when we were writing for New Times, causing trouble and pissing off the ad guys. And still young enough to stay out all night! I was thinking just the other day how I used to head out at around 9:30 and meet up with you at The Head or Elaine's. Now I like to be asleep by then! All the greater reason to read your columns, still full of passion and intelligence. Working on a couple of projects myself...let's keep rolling right along Luc...I'm down for another year. All best to Tracy ,you and that doggie. Keep 'em flying!

I really enjoy reading your column. It's both entertaining and thought provoking. You touch people in ways you probably don't expect.

Small example: you mentioned your famous relative and second family. I was intrigued and started reading all the family books, history-probably 15+ books and learned so much about our nation's history, customs, and especially the people.

Thank you.

Lucian, you're interesting, entertaining, and thought-provoking. While your topical takes are great, I especially enjoy your tales of the 60s and early 70s. What a time you had! Thanks for sharing.
