Ardent Francophile, regretful lawyer, reasonable golfer, terrible skier, shy writer. Great admirer of Albert Camus, whose philosophy is probably best summed up as follows (strangely enough) by the great David Bowie.

I’m not a prophet

Can’t take my eyes
from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith

David Bowie, Quicksand

Day trip to Paris

Today, no passengers waited for the train to Paris and the only occupants of the salle d’attente were bits of old newspaper swept about the floor by the cold breeze.

How the law killed my writing

Those touched by the horrible truth of their mediocrity fall into three categories.

Letter from a nihilist

Maybe I could arrange them in my journal and then go in search for them each day like I’m in some bizarre existentialist treasure hunt?
