A Universal Conspiracy Theory (aka Pay Attention) So on the first night there I was, alone on the third floor at a desk in a wide-open space. I was working late.

A Letter to Myself, July 17, 2011

Good News!
It was some years ago. There I was walking on the second floor hallway of the admin. building, weighed down with a stack of Lemonade Day brochures. I was handling them out to whomever I saw and knew. He dashed from around the corner. I knew him from many years back. We used to work…
