		<description><![CDATA[People marvel at my comedic wit as I jump off one idea and into the next, exploiting whatever comic potential is afforded by absurdity and wordplay. I fly off on tangents (from a partial inability to control them!). But I damn well function. I pay my taxes on time, and put the trash out on the curb on the correct day.

Comfortably Numb: Marijuana and Hyperactivity Disorder

When she got to me, she asked, “Bonjour, Lewis. C’est quel jour aujourd’hui?” I thought for a minute or two and finally replied in my best English, “Bonjour, Madame. I have absolutely no idea what day it is today.” 

My mom had to come to school that day. People at school weren’t very happy with my answer and I knew I was in trouble again.
