Always a delight to watch the moon (and its mischief) from your eyes. That story - how the moon moved the handwritten note, which was found by a postman, in a bottle given by his mother - is so pure. Thank you. <3

I had a comment ready about how this dispatch got me all teary-eyed—and then I saw the shoutout at the bottom and, well, a tear may have fell!

Thank you for your support Will—and as always, thanks for the new things we all get to glean from your prose. The connection between the Titanic and the moon is one only you could draw, and the anecdote about Fleet and Lee is haunting. Timing really is everything—and yet more often than not outside our grasp...

Thanks for this beautifully interwoven story of the moon and the Titanic, all made so very personal. I think that you could look at anything at all from the point of view of the moon and reveal lunar influences at work. (Have you seen Hello Tomorrow? Not a happy series but retro sci fi about cashing in on the dream of living on the moon.)
