Actually, the worst situation is for a wizard to date an enthusiastic neo-
phyte. Poor Mr. Beals. I drive him up the wall demanding to know this hack
thing and that hack thing and why won't this goddammm pascal kluge pass the
pointersnevermindIfoundthetypo.......

I used to be an artist, a paralegal etc, so I amuse him with my legalistic
pyrotechnics and bizarre cartoons. Then I irritate hell out of him by asking
what grep means and forgetting two days later because I could give a s**t.
Of course, he never took Andrew Sarris' film critique course at Columbia and
I'll be dammmd if he'll tell me what he thought of "The Color Purple". 
He does, however, make wonderful ginger snaps and he likes my cat. This
seems reason enough to enjoy the whole thing.
