A long overdue confession.
During a weekend rehearsal in high school, I was walking the halls with fellow cast member John Ladbury, running lines. We passed on open office door.
The school Psychiatrist's office.
No one around. Someone had been cleaning the office and left for some reason.
Stepping inside, the desk was typically cluttered--books, memos, pens, a Rubik's Cube, students folders, computer print-outs, Newton's Cradle, a framed print by M.C. Escher...
We could have done anything! Read student and family secrets. Vandalized the walls. Found faculty contact information. Destroyed university applications. Altered references. Framed innocent students. Framed innocent Faculty. The world was our oyster. Our evil, evil oyster.
I can't take the secret any more! I'm throwing you under the bus, man.
John took the lead.
When the school psychiatrist came into his office on Monday morning...oh the humanity!...
The Rubik's Cube had been solved!
