Humor is the ultimate honesty, or total honesty is perfect humor, or something like that. In any case, there's a very strong correlation there. And it has something to do with the Pale Blue Dot and getting older. This is the only time i get to swim alone, to be alone, in the underground swimming pool, back and forth, just back and forth. God i love the smell of chlorine. And god how i would hate to be alone if I could have it any time. It took me thirty-four years to learn how to catch a frisbee with flair in front of men who weren't my brother, thirty-four years to learn how to fuck up the harvesting of a giant morel, but it's taken me a hell of a lot longer than that to learn some fucking humility. And I'm still not sure I have. Maybe that's why I'm craving a Selectric.
