the best thing about being a writer -- part LXVIII

it's Jay Leno.
it's watching an internet video clip on the Huffington Post of Jay
Leno's final farewell to his audience after seventeen years of being
on the air, night after night, and realizing that you have only seen
the Jay Leno show about ten times total and that none of those ten
times lasted more than ten minutes each.
it's realizing that you have missed out on a major cultural phenomenon
like Jay Leno and yet you don't feel culturally damaged because of it.
it's realizing that somehow you didn't really miss out on the Jay Leno
phenomenon after all.
that you somehow experienced it pretty much completely by some sort of
strange combination of a shared consciousness osmosis and your own
personal intuition capacities.
still, seventeen years worth of shows is a lot to miss.
but Billy Crystal's send off song reassures you that somehow
everything will be all right.
