Maybe the conference was an inversion layer of another kind, bringing me face-to-face with old friends and old places. With cancer and the Gap and the Old Man, railing about newfangled players and spicy food. Bringing me face-to-face early with death...

Trip: Nigger, is you an old man or is you an old woman? I forget.
If you wish to succeed, consult three old people.
