For goodness sake, woman! How dare you risk life and limb like this. Have you no thought for the legions of readers whose lives depend on you to bring them those moments of absolute delight whilst laughing their heads off? What would we do? If the moths get your coat, we'll have a whip round and get you a new one. Let Matt persuade you to take life more easily and let the moths live. You are not like Markham who is able to fall out of windows.

Thanks Goodness you are ok! I would think moth balls would be more in line with a long term strategy, and for immediate gratification, you could use a slingshot to smack the little buggers from a distance. No climbing or gymnastics required.

The hardest thing for me to have learned?.... Putting myself in the top 20% of people I take care of....... Perhaps, my beloved author, you could consider taking this notion to heart....

Please take care of yourself.

The world at large needs your imagination, love, and insanity.

I am reminded of the old comment that "People say radio is going to replace newspapers. I don't believe it. You can't swat a fly with a rolled-up radio."

But I'm glad you find Inflatable Matt so agreeable. My own companion is one Bonzo Hanuman, a large stuffed toy gorilla who served with me in the Underground Facility Analysis Center. Bonzo was famous as the only analyst who NEVER made an error in analytical judgement, and made a tour in Defense Counter-Terrorism. I insisted Bonzo retire with me, since he was feeling the strain--always the first analyst in, and never took a day off. (He's looking less stressed now.) He never actually says anything, but often you can see by the look in his eyes that he's going along with me against his better judgement.

I'm very happy that you managed to avoid such an ignominious end ! Buy some moth spray and stop climbing on chairs PLEASE !!

So the answer to the moth problem is to not move around so much, whether in or out of the window, because a rolling stone gathers no moths.

Meanwhile, you are welcome to Canada anytime, that will be the best way to stop the requests. And Yes we have no moths today (or virtually none).

And it will be much cheaper for me to get to the Jodiworld Events! (!!!!!!) and you can meet the lumberjacks.

The world has already spent so much money keeping Matt Damon alive that it doesn't have a lot left over for everyone else. Don't force us to make choices. We need you both.
