Not dead

I watched Man on Wire yesterday, about Philippe Petit, who did the most subversive thing in 1974, which was to walk a tightrope between the World Trade Center towers.

Someone else said that in order to pass as an American, he put a lot of pens in his pocket, because Americans like to do that, apparently.

I think we are all animals, and simply making the best of it.
