“It’s simply the case that as I get older, I seem every day to give a  little bit less of a fuck what people think of or say about me.  This is  not the result of my undertaking to exercise a moral program or of  increased wisdom or any kind of willed act on my part.  It just seems to  be a process, a time-directed shedding, like the loss of hair or  illusions.  I am a husband, a father, and a son, whether or not I think,  ponder, or worry about gender, sexuality, my life as a man; and maybe  there’s a kind of pleasure to be taken in simple unconsciousness, an  automatic way of moving and being and acting in the world.”

Doesn’t this one’s life sound nice?  Yech…who wants that nose, anyway.  Viva the real workers!
