Magic Letter.
There has been no positive mention of Magic Numbers in this space since Opening Day morning:
April 1, 2011
It's your favorite author's brand new book, just out of your mailbox and out of the corrugated box and out of the shrink-wrap. It's anniversary reservations at that restaurant. It's the last day of school, May 25, 1983, and Return of the Jedi opens as soon as the bell rings. It's a new season of The Shield, a new Radiohead CD, a cold beverage and some Chuy's fresca by the pool with a bunch of friends. It's Chuck Morgan's voice and Eric Nadel's voice and those smells. The Magic Number is 163. It's a beautiful number. There are no more sleeps to count off, only the aggravating crawl of the clock. Fight through it.

Oh, what the hell:
