Re: Billy/Atticus
I kinda think this you might appreciate it, actually. It's a week where thousands of hippies build a temporary city in the middle of the super-hostile desert in Nevada and make psychedelic art. They're all about 'radical self-reliance' and shit. Joyce Johnson's kid called it the greatest cultural movement of our time. My older sister always wanted to go - not Destiny, one of my sisters back home.
Does this house on your island have plumbing and more than one room? If so then you've upgraded. And it's not blasphemy if it's true. If you don't like the way future-you has lived his life, maybe think about not idolizing men who drank their talent and ambition into early graves. Just saying.
