I admire Neal, he can say “NO”.
No equivocation, no excuses.
Cowardice in the face of a bad proposal
Requires I search for an unassailable out:
“I will be in the hospital”
“I receive my global award that evening”
“I’ll be on the space shuttle to the moon”
Of course Neal doesn’t receive many offers.
That probably is a result of his subtle dismissals:
“Your friends make me sick”
“I hate Modern Jazz”
“I’m waiting for a better offer”
To commit such nonsense to typed exploration
Suggests that I am not in a serious state of mind.
