Once. I saw Dan Bern tell a whole room full of old time midwesterners, "Read my substack. It'll change your life."

If it was the old Bible church, I'd have stood up and said, "I read it, and it did." But, figuring I missed the whole testimonial part of the Midwestern program and not wanting to bother anyone, I sat quietly and just smiled.

It seemed bold at the time.

I have read it tho. And it does.
