I used to build lofts in SoHo back when there was nothing there. I had a stoop on West Broadway between Prince and Spring. My partner and I would sit there, eat dinner, and watch the world go by.

New Orleans seemed like a superior place to have this conversation because I'd seen maps showing how the city would no longer be there if we lose our polar ice caps. Little did I envision that the clarity of the issue would hit home in this way.

I'm a complete deviant. All creative work breaks new ground.

The host took care to produce one or another of these whenever the current subjects seemed about used up, so that the conversation gathered new life and at the same time steered clear of political arguments, which are hindersome to both ingestion and digestion.
