The news is being bellowed across every medium; most of it goes unheard. Money is being made. Breakthroughs are occuring. Bitter failures are unfolding. Entropy is increasing, but nevertheless, right here, as so often happens between him and me, and it occurs to me, for probably about the fourth or fifth time today, that this is why I'm here right now, nothing happens.
