Today is Slope of Hope‘s 11th birthday. Before I say any more, I’d like you to listen to this Patton Oswalt routine, which is a favorite of mine:

So my attitude about Slope’s latest anniversary is captured nicely by Patton. One year ago today, I made a very big deal about Slope’s first decade. This year – meh – not so much, particularly on a dreadful day for the bears like today.

I’m grateful you are here, to be sure, I’m certainly going to keep on keeping on, but we’ll have to wait until March 29 2018 (if I make it that long) to make a big stink about it again. In any case, thanks for being a Sloper. I truly, deeply appreciate your presence all these years.
