Well, damn, I’m going out and buy myself a pair of khakis right now. Thanks, Mark. You often return the favor with homey wisdom I bank on.

You’ve done it again. Just one of your turns of a phrase set the course for my next essay. I love all your little observations that become meaningful messages. Khaki man is full of ‘em.

Hi Sully,

Lovely column. You paint such a vivid image of Khaki Man. He keeps dancing after the words have ended.

“Whooping chimps and whirling angels.” Now there’s a title, Davey.

Sort of makes one wonder if the advice Khaki Man was dispensing to the young thespian crowd might not have been something they should have heard...I've seen great dancers sweep the ordinary world into their own circle of grace...

It's too bad that the whooping chimps of the world outnumber the whirling angels.

I love the notion that everyone else has given up as well...and find it apt, because I know so few people who, when told I'm a writer, get a wistful look in their eye and talk about the book they always intended to write, or that they started once...or the idea they wish they had the inclination to turn into a finished story...

Thanks again, Sully ol' bean...

I should have known there was a poltergeist behind the elf!

Thanks and write on, Janet…

What an essay, Sully. Thank you. The image of The
Khaki Man bestowing grace upon his partner will ever
be imprinted on my soul.

As for Elf, blame me, Sully. I started it all by calling him "Eleven."
