In my copy of his book Naked David Sedaris has written "To Sue, my ritualistic friend". But he doesn't know the half of it. Sure, I don't tap objects or lick them with my tongue but I have been considering photographing all the "problem areas" in my house prior to leaving on my comedy festival vacation. When I go out of the house, even for a short time, I'm driven into some sort of panic that I will fail to notice not having turned off some important electrical appliance. Mr Sedaris tells a story of how his sister writes lists for him of which appliances he has to turn off whenever he's alone in her house. I think this is where the problem starts. For every ritualistic person there is a person near to them who had no faith. David buddy, we both have to forgive them (and ourselves) and move on.
