Andrew! I don't even know where to start. First of all, I am so honored to be your first paid Substack subscription -- I truly hope that you come out of this feeling like the coughing was worth it. Second, I am totally happy to be a stand-in for a 40-something male writer friend. (One of my previous books was described by the Economist as "combining the droll wit of Mary Roach with the inventive perversity of a seventh grade boy," so, you know, I think I have potential. . . .)

I hear you on everything you're struggling with, from the screen time to your feelings of isolation (I struggle with those myself -- thanks for the book recommendation). It makes me wonder if perhaps there might be a way, through this Phone Breakup challenge, to help some subscribers connect in real life . . . I'll think on that.

In the meantime, best of luck mastering those Seal Team Six secrets, and thank you again for taking the leap! Please feel free to reach out at any time through the comments or discussion threads -- I'm here to help in any way I can.

ps: reading through the recent intros here, I see at least one guy from Boston, and another in CT. . . .
