I’ve always had a great capacity to do the dumbest things.
It’s how I came to possess, among all my other weird collectables, a postcard sent to me by the dictator of Panama, General Manuel Noriega, from his time in maximum-security lockup in the US. I also own a bag of whistles given to me by former president of the United States, Martin Sheen, as well as a wonderful handwritten letter about knitting from Raiders of the Lost Ark star, Karen Allen.
I suppose I have a contrary nature. I like to “push back” and go the opposite direction in which people normally travel. If they elevate a star, I pull them down to earth. If they shun a person, I strike up a friendship. If they avoid a confrontation, I walk straight into it.
