my friend found a table with a chess board on it and sat down
and noticed bob dylan leaning against the rail and looking at the water.
at first nobody noticed him but eventually he started to get surrounded.
my friend got up and walked right up to him and said
“bob we got the chess board you wanted”
and bob saw his chance and took it. my buddy got to play silent chess with him
the whole trip and as long as bob seemed engaged people seemed to
leave him alone.

I look at myself as an artist if anything,” Mr. Jobs said. “Sort of a trapeze artist.
In 1983, Steven Levy interviewed Steve Jobs for hours about his recent breakup and the birth of the Mac.
At some point, Levy asked Jobs what he saw himself as. To which Jobs replied “Sort of a trapeze artist”.
It’s funny that no one noticed this is the exact one liner Bob Dylan used while interviewed in Austin in 1966:
Reporter: What do you consider yourself? How would you classify yourself?
Bob Dylan: Well, I like to think of myself in terms of a trapeze artist.
Now, now, Steve, everyone is going to call you a thief again.
