You try to make sense of your life. Everybody tries to do that, I think, and part of making sense of things is trying to find reasons … or constants … things that don’t fluctuate.

Everyone does it, but perhaps people who have extraordinarily lucky or unlucky lives do it a little more. Part of you wants to think or must as least speculatethat you got whopped with the cancer stick because you were one of the bad guys (or one of the good ones, if you believe Durocher’s Law). Part of you wants to think that you must have been one hardworking S.O.B. or a real prince or maybe even one of the Sainted Multitude if you end up riding high in a world where people are starving, shooting each other, burning out, bumming out, getting loaded, getting ‘Luded.

But there’s another part that suggests it’s all a lottery, a real life game show not much different from “Wheel of Fortune” or “The New Price Is Right” (two of the Bachman books, incidentally, are about game show type competitions). It is for some reason depressing to think it was all or even mostly an accident. So maybe you try to find out if you could do it again.

Or in my case, if Bachman could do it again.
