Move here to the SF Bay Area. Everybody knows what we do: "Oh, you write
those manuals no one can understand." Then their eyes glaze over and
they wander away looking for someone interesting to talk to.

Of course, the truth is, I'm sitting in my hot tub, dictating this to
the movie starlets who hang on my every word and simply adore me. My SO
is off surfing, my garage is full of Harleys by Arlen Ness, and my attic
is full of old copies of the Daily Worker from when I was pinko
communist.
