In looking through other folks on Substack, I came across
who writes She had a recent post that had a list of some of her favorite things starting with each letter of the alphabet and I decided to steal the idea and do one of my own. I feel like this is allowed, especially since Vicki in turn stole the idea from another Substack writer, .
Now, I considered making this entirely focused on movies, picking titles and characters that I love matching the letters, but maybe I’ll save that for another day.
If you like the idea, feel free to steal/borrow it for your own and send me your own list by hitting reply to the email or leaving a comment on the post.
And on to the list!

Zambonis! How did I forget zambonis? This is so great! Thank you for playing!
This is brilliant! I was wondering if you might do a movie one - maybe we can do a swap one day? An Oscar noms themed list for you and and a docs list from me?! Till then this is just an excellent A-Z - I can’t believe I forgot mini golf, rollercoasters, libraries and, er, my kids 😱🤣 And now I’ve learned who Grogu is too (no Disney+ in our house..) Not to mention a zebu (!) Happy days indeed.
