Over the Moon

“Not everything that counts can be counted,
and not everything that can be counted counts.”

Albert Einstein

I figured out pretty early in life that grown-ups talk a lot of shit. I date this see-through vision back to when I tended bar at country club events and private parties at a much younger age than I could have done so in public establishments – which I never did – and during which time I was granted a painfully candid view of high-society grown-ups uninhibited, but it goes back before that. In the sixth grade, when I was eleven, I sat in class and listened to Mr. Larsen explain about the moon and tides and all that. I got kicked out of class that day for asking too many questions, or maybe for asking them in too snarky a tone.
