At the time, it felt like living with awful knowledge that no one else possessed. In truth, I was only about five days ahead of the curve.
Three weeks earlier, I’d flown to Los Angeles, seen friends, ate in restaurants and went to see a play and thought nothing of it.

Meanwhile everybody else sat bunched together, sharing buckets of popcorn and talking into each other’s faces.
