Damn it, Scott, this is good. I totally get why Charles Dickens published on installments.

The wait between these installments is worse than the wait in between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

These are incredibly well written and really enjoyable to read. Can't wait for part III!

Scott this is such a wonderful story! I’m more convinced now that writers really need to unleash group chats in their work more often. Between this part and how effectively Jason Kirk deployed his AIM conversations in his novel, just keep dipping in that well!!

I feel like the NextDoor is art imitating life. Seriously that place is weird.

I’m still kinda hoping that Chris’ ninja turtle wish can come true, although I can certainly understand that it would be problematical for Kate.

I'm a little late to parts 1 and 2 but I'd just like to say that this is coming out at exactly the right time for me, a 31yo man who hasn't swung a bat or fielded a ball since senior year of high school, to be suiting up for the first game of a local sandlot league this weekend.

Wait, a pro baseball player with views and behavior like that? Too outlandish.
