"Now, When You Talk About Your De-Cluttering Lady,"

Prof. Purkinje asks me, "is that the same as your life coach?"

"Of course not," I tell him. "I mean, wouldn't it be weird to have my life coach helping me clear a room out?"

"You know, whenever I mention that I have a friend in L.A. with a life coach, they say something about California . . ."

"Let it go," I respond. "People are narrow that way."

1 It makes sense, people have advisors for money, health, etc. But it is embarrassing.

2 So is "life coach" supposed to sound better than "counselor"? I honestly don't mind saying I have a counselor, but I'd feel awkward calling him my "life coach".

3 In my day we used to call them "shrinks".

4 Um. Okay. The cloistered life of the accidental hermit, all that. Still, I'm sure I ought to be embarrassed every time I ask one of these hideously naive questions. But I never am. It must be the height of Uncool. So, since I'm never embarrassed about it, I apologize in advance if I go around embarrassing YOU. But what the hell is a Life Coach? Is this a person who coaches one on How to Live?

5 Mostly we get together and discuss my goals in terms of getting my book finished/published. She's kind of the page-count sheriff.

6 EEEEEKKK!!! I don't like those doings, myself. Page-count sheriff types tend to have the opposite effect as intended - I find it highly demotivating. Oh, yes, to each her own!
