On why we’re here
When you get to my age, if you get to my age, which is 81, and if you have reproduced, you will find yourself asking your own children, who are themselves middle-aged, what life is all about. I have seven kids, four of them adopted.
Many of you reading this are probably the same age as my grandchildren. They, like you, are being royally shafted and lied to by our Baby Boomer corporations and government.
I put my big question about life to my biological son Mark. Mark is a pediatrician, and author of a memoir, The Eden Express. It is about his crackup, straightjacket and padded cell stuff, from which he recovered sufficiently to graduate from Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Vonnegut said this to his doddering old dad: “Father, we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is.” So I pass that on to you. Write it down, and put it in your computer, so you can forget it.
I successfully defended my Master’s thesis! (AKA, I am a Golden God, see above).

Every place setting at the V.F. Oscar party dinner has a Zippo lighter engraved with a Christopher Hitchens quote. We miss you, Hitch.
This got me a little choked up.
Lana del Rey, you goddess. How am I only learning about you now?
