As a smoker, being a social pariah cast out into the cold and rain, sometimes has its small bonuses. As my wife and I were laying over in Vegas last spring on the way home from Seoul, Evan scored a light from me, and we had thereby a delightful 20 minute conversation with him while he was in transit to DC to make this speech.
He laid it out so clearly. It’s not that I hadn’t thought of these things, but he puts it together very well.
Of course now I really need to read the books he mentions. The closing of the American mind.
I'll be *****
That is my story, exactly.
Besides being someone whom I respect and listen to, Evan is also a "Smoking Buddy" of mine.
