Since we're totally off topic, let me share a strange memory of KV: In college, my friend and I had this habit when we were walking around of seeing random strangers and saying, "Hey, there goes . . ." and we'd insert the name of a random famous person who the stranger looked like (or totally didn't look like, if that was funny at the moment). So one night we were walking down Grand Street in SoHo around 11:00, and about a block ahead of us we saw some old guy come out of a building and light up a cigarette. For whatever reason, I said, "Hey! There goes Kurt Vonnegut!" And then, when we walked by him, it was Kurt Vonnegut, which was amusing and strangely exciting, since I'm not usually wowed by seeing famous people. Also, he wrote awesome books.
