Robert is a black "tuxedo cat" (he has a little white patch on his chest)...

That cat is Moonlight's exact twin. Even the patch is exactly the same. It was eerie when I first met him.

But being a freelancer takes a lot of discipline and organization, two things that I'm less than stellar at sometimes.

You and I are a lot alike ... if I can do it, you certainly can. I'm not saying you definitely should go the freelance route - there are a lot of disadvantages. But I know without a doubt that you could do it if you decide it is your best option.

Personally, I think you should become a crossword hustler. Go from town to town, swindling rubes out of their money by beating them at the puzzle. Every town, no matter how small, has a puzzle hall. You go there, and you let them beat you at the local paper's puzzle, and then you meekly offer to do the Times for big stakes. And you smoke them, and you head for the next town, chuckling.
