I mean toi, sir. I will FACE UNREALITY and learn to look it in its multi-faceted mauve-hued eye. I will stop trying to escape into the easily concrete, the simply real, the firmly established, stop falling back on force, energy and solidsa which can be measured. I will stop pretending that Time is a unidirectional arrow. I will pull my head OUT of space-time's absurd mesh of agreed-on things, the siren-singing Reality and stand up to face the infinitely more difficult landscape of the bizarre, the weird, the imaginary, and the inReal. Why look, there is Chongo, offering to be my guide for a couple of Franklins. How nice!!

I see Corridus galumphing in the distance, being pursued by Shane. We walk past a statue of William Shatner playing the role of Bruce Murdoch. Wow!! Amazing how effective it can be just to stand up and take those blinders off, and just deal with the unReal!! I am a new man...so far, at least.
