Day 15: There was nominal attention paid to the manuscript, but the day was spent finishing a follow up to my mom's email that I started writing last week.

I posted the first one here as a kind of 'proof-of-work' mini-essay, and the second one is kind of the same: some basic orange-pilling, explaining some concepts of Bitcoin as it relates to me personally and my book, and other more personal stuff.

No sense in pointing the second one, but trust me when I say that it involved a lot of work, as relationships often do. I've never had the best relationship with my mom so it was great that she travelled across the world to see me, and now we can have a correspondence that both helps me to sort my shit out, and my mom to understand me better.

I'm a 40-something married man, but let me repeat the same advice I've heard everyone else give on the subject: take every opportunity you can to build relationships with your parents/kids if and when they arrive, because there's really nothing like having someone you can actually relate to in this world who is willing and able to talk to you.
