You wouldn't be wrong to call me petty for posting this--but, as you'll soon see, I've been called much worse. For full ironical impact, you can follow the thread from the beginning or just leap to the money quote from my debate partner. ( Reproduced here for your convenience. )I can't really complain, of course; as I told the guy, I read his journal for the judgementalness, not in spite of it. His posts were intelligently-enough written that I made the mistake of thinking he could handle a sounding board instead of an echo chamber. When will I ever learn?
Last week, I stopped by Big Chicks just to chat with a couple of my favourite employees, who were working the door. Talk about Katrina and the bungled response was inevitable and it was tricky to steer a path around their rage without assenting to points that I strongly disagreed with. It paid off, though, when after a couple of deft subject shifts I ended up hearing Sue's reminiscences of Key West "back in my straight days". She spent some time palling around with a spouse-supported adventurer who was trying to canoe from NYC to LA. The last she saw of him was a t.v. clip of his release from a Cuban prison after he strayed a little too close to that island. I promised to do a Google search in order to uncover what he's doing now, but that's the last mention I found either. It makes me wonder whether he eventually settled down or whether the next adventure (he was also talking about snowmobiling to Siberia) did him in.
