People think he is clever and
quick and good with talk and
he gives that impression, but
all of it took so much work so
very much work until he didn’t
have to do it anymore. It wore
him down over time because that
was his job and he was always
afraid he wouldn’t be able to
come up with the witty quip at
the spur of the moment. He took
an IQ test in college and scored
okay but it was timed and he felt
under enormous pressure and he
doesn’t do his best when he is
anxious. He took an on-line IQ
test and did much better because
he had all the time in the world
to get the answer right. He sighed
a sigh of relief when that score
came through, kind of like when
he writes something. He has all
the time in the world and it feels
really good to get the words right.
