2. You describe your desk as “organized chaos.”
3. When you spill something on your shirt, you say,“Out damned spot.”
4. You use words like ubiquitous and lugubrious when talking to your 7-year-old kid.

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
