This is really the last reading with Karl before John heads off to school. Reading the part of Karl fills me with so many memories as I think about his inspiration, the man behind the story. I truly miss the real Karl. We saw some amazing places in the world together when I was young. And I got yelled at my fair share. But chocolates and pepperoni always brought our families back together. I'm grateful for his friendship and in terms of the story, no one could better mentor someone committed to bringing down the world's greatest company - SleepFree Inc - with his power of lucidity.
