Sat down late last night at my desk….in the dark except for a dying green tinted desk lamp, and out came a song called “I’m Still Me”. Jimmy is taking all the hits….from a Mother who has turned to television preachers to a Dad who worships at the altar of Jim Beam. Jimmy’s face drones away in the hallway like a teacher in front of a sleeping class, too long in the job. He’s no more than a blip on somebody’s statistical survey map. But without the struggle to become something other than piped in store Muzak, what’s the point? So he contemplates his next move….

As do I.

In a bit…
