Description
I spend most of my week being the guy with an answer. Clients hire me for it.
My kids expect it. Most of my life doesn't actually run that way.
I've never hidden that. It just doesn't get much room.
No Stage, Just a Chair is the room. Everywhere else, the searching is for
someone: a decision that has to get made, a kid who needs an answer at ten at
night. Here it isn't in service of anything. I bring in whatever I haven't
gotten to the bottom of, and I don't get to the bottom of it here either.
I keep getting up different than I sat down.
