I figure Clem takes as long to describe events as the events themselves took.
It’s like having a 1 to 1 scale map of life.

I’ve had plenty of time to think of different ways to sort the teams in some amusing way. I’ve doodled and discarded a lot of long-winded foolishness. After tinkering with ideas for weeks, here I am, making the whole thing into a coffee joke at the last minute… something I hadn’t even been kicking around if my notes are anything to go by.
Sometimes I think these stories are going on somewhere, and I’m just transcribing stuff for you. Stephen King talks about that in some of his forewords and in his book ‘On Writing’- he calls stories ‘found objects’, as though we’re just discovering them.
People keep telling me “You should stop drinking those sodas. They’re bad for you.” And I say, “Yeah.”
Couple of weeks later, they say, “I thought you weren’t going to drink those any more.” And I say, “It wouldn’t be possible to drink them any MORE… I’d have to have a constant IV drip to increase what I’m already getting down me.”
Just because something’s bad for you- sodas, sugar, STDs, war, alcohol, smoking, free climbing, Facebook… doesn’t mean people WANT to give it up. That’s not how we’re built.
