"it takes a child to raise a village." huh? but the more i thought about it, the more sense it made to me. hallie admits that she has two functional skills - changing a light bulb and knocking down her smoke alarm with a hammer. i'm impressed! words like pabulum fly around; david foster wallace, richard feynman, and aelius galenus drop in, not in that order. hallie hates vegans...jk.
she was a buzz saw, i was a piece of virgin timber.
