Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. I've never heard of that.

He coined the term WASP, has written a lot about American elite culture and Philadelphia and etc. He was a guest speaker to one of my undergrad classes, and since he had just written a book about tennis, that is what he spoke on. Note: the class was not about tennis, or sports in any way. He was just a really great, impressive, dapper, dotty old guy.

Edited for factual and grammatical accuracy.

Oh, that would make sense.

Hah! He prepped at St. Paul's. That explains so much. I think that place only aggravated my sister's issues.

In other news, I got a haircut this afternoon!

Surely the gods of Google will smile on this.
