...order to remember how to live the "status" life, Kreimer says he will seek something called "life-style rehabilitation counseling." Sounds plausible. Slipping comfortably back into the community he has never really embraced will be difficult. Problem is, the counseling exists only in Kreimer's head, somewhere in the middle of his ever growing "to do" list...
