During the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, C.M.'s father was suddenly forced into temporary retirement.  With his lifelong forward momentum brought to an abrupt halt, he began writing about his life: stories about his childhood, memories of family, adventures that took him from coast to coast in the U.S., to Vietnam and Denmark.

In Season 3 of "Why Am I Telling You This?", C.M. reads what his father sent him in a series called "Letters From Pops".
