About The Remarkable Foolsletter
Welcome to the best part of the best part of the world.
I’m Jimmy, and for over five years, I have shown up every day to whittle stories out of the rough lumber of the human condition. This newsletter is a living document of perfect imperfection, filled with “lively documents” that celebrate our shared status as beautiful, incomplete screw-ups.
Why Subscribe?
Subscribe to get full access to weekly dispatches where nostalgic heart meets irreverent folly. You’ll get the “Scribe” stories of my Nanny Ruby and Granddad Ellis, alongside “Troll” riffs on everything from the “Aqua-Illuminati” to the “hairy-toed hobbit” next door.
I write these to help you find levity in the mess. As a former psychotherapist turned handyman and “exceptionally outstanding tour guide,” I’ve learned that the shortest distance between two people really is a laugh—and sometimes that laugh involves a bit of horse shit.
Stay Up-to-Date
You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition goes directly to your inbox. Think of it as starting a pen-pal relationship with an expert-level idiot. Some dispatches will be funny. Others might make you cry. All of them are designed to help you level off, not level up.
Step Inside the Story
I’ve stopped trying to have any authority or make sense of the world. Instead, I’ve decided to be Dartmouth’s most irreverent and absurd ambassador.
If you want to hear these stories from “the horse’s mouth,” I invite you to join me in real life. Whether it’s a “Wallking Tour” (yes, I know there’s a typo) of the Dartmouth Darkside or a custom investment-grade experience in the backwoods of Nova Scotia, my tours are live extensions of this writing.
“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.” — Victor Borge
“Not a shred of evidence exists in favour of the idea that life is serious.” — Brendan Gill
