This was amazing. McKai is in his late 30's. What cool kids' group did he think he was kicking me out of? And what kind of people are in it now? Do they wear little steveporn buttons that read "You're not one of us"?

When I first met McKai he gave me the impression that he was at least ten years younger than he is, in the presentation of certain facts about schooling, etc. He chose not to correct my mistaken assumption of his years. He admitted that he had created a persona, but I didn't know it included lying about his age. He presented an image of a precocious kid in his early 20's, full of ideas. What is forgivable in a person of one age is not in another, like Capri pants.
