It's smug and dull and super-middle class. Apparently if one gets to a certain revered status one no longer needs to be concerned with such things?

It's an entertaining read. I look forward to part II and I hope you are around more often. I always know where to find you if you aren't. I have a hard enough time keeping up with those that I follow on this site. R.U. Sirius is certainly a compelling subject for an interview. I read the embedded review of his book and it's definitely worth a look. I hope you and yours are well. Sandy Ken,
