I just read over yesterday's post. Christ, what a softie I've become. "Everybody should hold hands. And after that I'll buy the world a Coke." I blame Southern California. And my meds, of course.
Listen, I'm never going to be able to pull this off if I start looking over my shoulder. That's why I could never write anything except in gobbledygook--too self-conscious. Now we come to one of the prime benefits of being John W. O. Private Citizen: I can be, do, say whatever I want. It doesn't matter anymore. It never mattered, but we all thought it did.
Now, if I think something, I can just say it, whether or not it's consistent with my image. Any image is a trap, even "total honesty." In some ways that's the worst trap of all.
