Read the words of the world's only Autodidact Polymath Magnificently Methodical Southern Woman and The Most Brilliant Woman In The World as she guides you through page after page of deep thinking coupled with hilarious snarky until the lily is gilded.
You will faint in pure pleasure at her insights and laugh until you spit out your fave bev of choice.
Yes, humorists are much busier people than you, especially this one who has identified the role of the Medicinal Margarita in a writer's life, and more than you can imagine as this partial list of chapters will show. (And yes, you will want to read the footnotes.)
