Ever hate adult life? (Ever hate calling something adulting?) Ever stand in a grocery store line and think why am I doing this? What does this mean? I’m tired! I hate these people. It’s hot up here (props to those who get the Sondheim reference)! Well, David Foster Wallace did, and he talked about it in a 2005 commencement speech to Kenyon College. I made Harry listen to the speech and we talked about it, too. What does all of it mean? How do we find meaning? Listen in.
