Hello.

Hello.

My name is Joe Perra.

I hope you're someplace warm this winter evening.

I'm in my basement.

I just put a pot of soup on the stove and came downstairs to record.

Making minestrone and the sleep recording in the same evening.

What a life.

In theory, sleep isn't hard.

It's about quiet and dark, not owing anyone on a reasonable amount of money.

But even if your debts are manageable, sometimes you need a little help.

There were times this year I could have used some myself.

And so, in hopes that no one else develops a dependence on

Advilp., I wanted to revisit the old sleep stuff and make something new for you. Kind of like soup.

When you get to the end of a ham, you throw the bone in a pot and it's the start of something

else.

It's not waste if you can boil it.

I love that about soup.

Another thing I love about soup is that, of all the foods, it is the most believable

to me that a good soup for stew could change the course of a story.

Say character is about to die.

They give him a sip of really good broth, and then they regain their strength and win the beauty pageant.
