So. If you asked me three “I wouldn’t be offended” questions: Funniest comedian, greatest entertainer, best interviewer? My three “answers”: NO! He just - was. Every night. For 30 years. Defining television. A genre. An era.

Is the universe scripted? Or unscripted? And if one. Or the other. What is cause? Or effect? But in before. Or after. Do butterflies really have free will? A pondering on … sequences of events.

What is my Holy Grail? People that are interested IN me. Rather than what they can get OUT of me. An added bonus? To have them be a teensy weensy bit emotionally invested. At least … as another human being.

I get sports. My career was standard youth to college. Thanks to professional athletes and coaches in my family. Just not the life I wanted. But if you are consumed with fire to compete off-the-field with everyone in everything? You're over-compensating. For a neutered soul. And have my pity.
