WatchHappy Birthday, Steve!
We were caught unawares by your birthday, so the production values may be somewhat suspect.
As is our fact-checking.
crystal figurine
Inside everyone is a crystal figurine. It looks just like you, down to the tiny crystal eyelashes.
If someone touches your crystal figurine — they just need to tap it lightly, gently — it makes a beautiful sound. A single pure tone. And if you can touch someone else’s when they touch yours, the tones will blend together. They will make a chord. This chord is what makes life...
A glimpse into our future
Beth and I went to visit my grandmother yesterday. She still can’t lift anything because of the casts on both her arms.

When I was nine, my father went out of town on a course to learn a new job. While he was away, my mother began seeing another man. I remember her kissing him in front of me.
When my father returned, she said she wanted a divorce and went to live with the other man.
