Wait. When I sit down in front of my computer, and I then expect things to all of a sudden fall into place, as if my life were oh-so conveniently scripted, and here I am, the wise one, the affable Zen super-hero, the sleuth� As if I had earned the right to be the DJ from Northern Exposure, the errant introvert, well�
