Most women at the party want to sleep with my lawyer, notary, and literary agent Sterling Brochure. I don't blame them, the tall polyglot tends to get what he wants, whether that's a record advance, a no fault divorce, or papers signed while he watches. I steal glances at him while I make the dip.

Gaming doesn’t count as screen time. Gaming is books. Unless it’s on your phone - that is screen time. Movies are books unless they are Marvel, who produce screen time. Television is screen time.
