Good Hash

A couple of months ago the guy that has a studio next to me knocked on my door. Larry Morelli is his name. He said, "sorry to bother you, but have you ever seen the movie 'close encounters'? It just occurred to me that's what we're doing here. We're all trying to make sense of some form in our mashed potatoes."

I understood what he meant immediately.

When he left, I fought the urge to give him the alien hand greeting and five corresponding tones.
