Drove down to Coral Gables yesterday to have lunch with my friend David. Over salad and ceviche, we talked about writers, writing, and Greece (David’s work-in-progress is set in Patmos). Taking him back to his house, I got stuck in traffic. (The beautification of Miracle Mile is another work-in-progress.)
The conversation turned to cars, and how we don’t know anything about them. “In school,” David said, “they don’t teach about cars or money or health. And we spend most of our time sitting in our cars worrying about our money and our health.”
