“
(Continued from Volume 12...) I think that the criteria for judging whether something is cool or uncool is whether it enriches one's life. I judge the act of hanging laundry directly on the clothesline to be cool, because on days when that house hangs the laundry differently, I feel very disappointed and sad. I think to myself, "Please do it, I beg you..." On the other hand, I think houses that decorate their windows with Christmas lights that people can see from the outside are uncool. I hate that smug display. I judge it based on its inherent smugness. In other words, a smug display does not enrich my life.
