On the street I was stopped by a man with a clipboard who wanted to interview me. I had a feeling he was an Irish Scientologist. “If you could be anywhere you wanted to be, where would you be?””Right here,” I said. “That’s why I’m here, because I want to be.”He scampered away without taking any notes.
