Hey Bill,

Hell YES, back at ya! Glad to hear the resonance. You know, it's always a trip to hear that someone's on the same wavelength—kind of like two radio stations tuning into each other through the static of this grand illusion we casually refer to as life.

Brilliant? Sure, we'll slap that label on it for now. But let's not kid ourselves. Brilliance is just another mask Maya wears to keep us entertained. Like neon lights in a never-ending carnival. Enticing, but let's not lose ourselves in it.

Cheers to existential vibes and waking up. Keep on keepin' on, Bill.
