I’m pressured to live up to the lofty standards set by the remarkable Harry Hogg—the absolute best yet-to-be-discovered writer on Medium or anywhere else, and the most lovable man in the room. Any room. Harry’s prose flows from his fingertips like phosphorescence trailing a dolphin’s midnight swim. Sentences so touching I read them aloud again and again, bringing salty tears to my eyes. Even God is jealous. Damn you, Harry Hogg. Why can’t you struggle with words like the rest of us?
