Election

I ended up spending the night at the Reg Bev Will with Neil. He's a genuine thinker and he lights up my brain. We stayed up late watching television coverage of the election and ordered Dominos. I'm surprised the hotel allowed them to deliver our pie, given the attitude around here. We met outside the bar and he was going on about the small hand computers teenagers use these days. I know what he's talking about because my agent has one. Then out of the blue he gave me a lecture about how great my performance was in this old TV movie I did with Cloris Leachman. I don't remember the picture, but I pretended I did. It had something to do with how comedy works like a virus. Neil's still alseep and it will take a lot of self-control not to check his bookmarks list for something embarrassing.
