A Game of Solitaire

Star left a few hours ago, so I'll be alone at the LSC for about four or five days. I have a fairly high tolerance for solitude, which has led to a number of interesting jobs over the years (including this present position as a LSC caretaker). I used to work as a backcountry winter caretaker in the Adirondack Mountains, where sometimes I would go for days on end without seeing another person. In 2005, during my second stint as a Peace Corps volunteer, I was assigned to what was probably at that time the most remote Peace Corps site in Madagascar.

  1. "faily high tolerance for solitude"

    Your preference is for solitude. Isn't "Party of One: The Loners' Manifesto" by Anneli Rufus your manifesto?
