As they brought the van around front I sat on the ticket counter and Joel asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up, like after college. I told him I didn’t know. He told me about how he lived in New York briefly after college, and he had a female friend, and she was really smart, and also she had worked as a stripper in New York, if I could believe that.

‘I want to be a union organizer maybe,’ I said.
