...Kirk, he's happy to have come full circle, to be back making something again. And he isn't worried that grownup marketing concerns will make it difficult for him to summon his inner boy. "For me, it's more of an effort getting out of the place where I think like a child," he says. Financial maturity has its upside too: more pocket money to blow on robots, other toys and old woodworking tools on eBay. Not to mention the freedom to create more fantasy worlds.

Many Eastern mystical traditions, contemplating the same inner space, have come to the opposite conclusion. They teach that the mind and body belong to an indivisible continuum...
...comix chapters by Paul Karasik (a former associate editor of "RAW" magazine and co-author of the graphic novel version of Paul Auster's "City of Glass") get as close to an explanation of David's inner life one can hope to.

...searched sporting-goods stores, catalogs and the Internet for a synthetic shirt that would shed sweat as fast as the Lycra compression shorts he wore under his football pants. High-end specialists who sold gear for mountaineering and skiing offered pricey garments made with an inner layer of fabric that wicked perspiration away from the skin to an outer layer where it would evaporate. These clothes helped prevent hypothermia in extreme cold. But nobody made what Plank wanted: an affordable, featherweight, moisture-wicking T shirt--one that would fit skintight so it would lie flat under straps and pads...
