Three Questions

Why is it that memories of stupid things I said or did in high school, thirty-plus years ago, can still reduce me to fits of impotent rage and self-loathing?

How did I manage to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Crunch today, and then forget that I had done so?

What on Earth possessed me to tell the department's colloquium director that I wanted to give a talk, to be entitled "The Equals Sign: A Curmudgeon's View"?

Miles has ghosts of dead people following him around -- I have ghosts of self-inflicted stupidities following me around. I think you have to have something similar following you around in order to be human. Sorry about that.

However. There's something really Wrong about eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's and not remembering that you've done it. I mean, if you're going to have calories, you should be able to remember enjoying them...

As for #3? I was a Literature and History major [g]. Good luck.
