Which basically involved me overwatering the lawn, then standing in the sodden grass cannibalizing a jazz musician while I waited for a school bus to drive by. I even tried to get Shep Smith to float by on a piece of sheared corrugated tin roofing and rail at the federal government—but the bastard wouldn’t return any of my emails.
