Telethon dreams and festival memories

Intermission business: a tease that a digital or playing-card version of the Secular vs. Solomon game is coming in 2024, a donate-button pitch (no advertisers because no one would agree to it), and a nostalgia trip over broadcasting 30 hours from the Spirit Midwest music festival — including a stranger who lent his phone as a hotspot for a full day. That memory sparks a half-serious plan: a 2024 LFTP telethon or 12-hour marathon, ideally for a real cause like an orphanage.
