I was so inspired. During my wait at the Greyhound bus station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania underneath the TV. Yeah. Me. Singing. I'm a superhero for killing all known aliens from this world with how bad my singing is. You're welcome. I've been saving lives. So. This guy. He said that he works in pharmaceuticals. There's always demand, he says. And a good 401K program. He keeps interrupting my singing with approval. After fifteen minutes of adoration from him interspersed with conversation, the story unfolds. He says my singing has a very narrow range. When I'm supposed to go high instead, I go low. He said really it wasn't the worst singing he's ever heard. And it is above nails scratching on a chalkboard. He likes Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. He said I needed to stretch my vocal cords and the way to accomplish that is singing in the shower. Boredom entailed as we waited the long hours until our bus departed. I introduced him to the Jerusalema Dance Challenge that was a rallying cry for peace across the world. He introduced me to the plight of pangolin. It's being driven to extinction because it's scales are thought to have medicinal properties which actually has no scientific basis. We listened to R&B and he taught me a two move dance. I said that Asians have no rhythm. He said his father didn't either though his father is black. I drew my breath in shocked horror. There's no excuse for a black man not to have rythym!

I finally caught up with Jason after so many days. "How are things?" I asked. "I'm sinking," he said, "It's just too much."  A full time job.  Demands at school.  A recent hefty bump on the head.  And a surgery to remove...
