Thank you for making it clear that "banal tart" was in reference to a pastry.

I assumed it was a snide aside in reference to Ms. Parker-Bowles...the now Queen with or without the hyphen consort. I always wanted to have a consort, somewhat like a concert without the music.

I'm going to vote for cheese because I don't know what anhedonia is (not that I care all that much about cheese, to be honest, which doesn't give me the pleasure it once did)

How do you print/ship your cards? I really love that as a perk!

Thanks! I’ve been trying different local printers and mailing them out by hand. Eventually I’ll post about the unit economics behind it, but the nut of it is that I’m halfway to funding 12 cards a year, which includes paying the artists, printing, and shipping.

Well, you made me look up anhedonia, as well as chuckle at your way of insuring that would be the vote getter!
