me: I need a hobby that is non-introspective and non-meditative.
Ren: Why?
me: Between work and running and writing I spend way too much time in my head. I need to be forced out of it sometimes.
Ren: You should join a chorus.
me: That's a really good idea, seeing as how I can't sing.
Ren: I thought so.
me: I think I'll join the Gay Men's Choir.
Ren: I don't think they'll let you.
me: Oh! And why not?
Ren: Because you're black.
