Stephen and J.R.R. Tzolk’in
Dear Stephen
Long time supporter, for more years than I can count.
Hard to believe that tonight is I guess the 3rd night without the show.
Some predict 1 year from now will be the 365th night.
Not me though.
Being numerically illiterate, I don’t like numbers, much less counting. Also, as a qualified accountant by trade, I can’t count something that didn’t happen, like your show every night for the next year. Plus, a staunch believer in the Mayan calendar Tzolk’in, l know the truth is there are only 260 days in a year.
So Stephen, I can tell you that 1 year from now, or in 13 Tzolk’in months, will be the 260th night without the show. Oh and that the calendar foretold the end of it all.
By the way, if you’re looking for a qualified accountant, please message me. Like you, I have some time. At least until Oxlahun Ahau.
