Conversations with David: Pac-Man Fever
Rob: That's Stan Lee. I thought that it would cure you of your fever.. Sadly, it did not.

David: Why would that cure me of my fever? I mean, I am a "true believer", but still... No, what I've got is Pac-Man fever! I got a pocketful of quarters and I'm headed to the arcade... Pac Man is truly a metaphor for life.

Rob: Really? Explain.

Davíd: It's like we're running around through this big maze of life, constantly eating and running, eating and running, all the while our various fears are chasing at our heels until one day they catch up with us and - Bam! - It's game over.

Rob: But what about the power pellets? And the cherries?

David: Well the cherries (and oranges, apples, pretzels, keys, etc.) represent the extra bonus that we all chase after but, upon achieving it, realize that it doesn't contribute to our survival in any way. The power pellets represent those rare moments of clarity where he can confront our demons head on and triumph.

Rob: Even in your fever pitched sate, you continue you awe me.
