A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Spingo, is that you back there?

Angus came out to visit me when I was working on the out of town tryout
for Smokey Joe’s Cafe in LA.

Look at all those MacDonalds

(not my picture, just stumbled upon it in a recent search and liked it a ton)
I remember one time I went here, I had just finished a glargh burger and my plate had been cleared. I sat around for a little bit and wondered what to do when Angus told me to go in the back and help wash some dishes. I did and it was honestly so much fun(I know, very uncharacteristic of you, Aryn). The experience of working in a restaurant with such amazing people, even though I wasn’t being paid, was so much fun and I would repeat it again if I could.

We’d like to gather photos, articles, stories, etc about Angus…

Just sign up for an account, and then upload whatever you want.

I took this photo of Angus in our backyard last summer.

The kids had just put hair-ties on the brim of his hat, and told him not to move.
His expression of bemused stuck-ness made me laugh.
