The ashtray had broken in half from the heat, and the sofa was
burning, although asbestos material had prevented it from being on fire in
a way that would spread the flames. I ran down the steps and got the fire
extinguisher off the wall in the hall, ran back up and sprayed the sofa.

"You should be ashamed of yourself," I said to myself.
I was grateful that only the sofa had been destroyed. Also, my pride
in expanded consciousness had disintegrated. I' ve never quite forgiven
myself for having endangered the lives and property of the tenants in the
other four apartments. I had ignored the concept of cause and effect. My
bad. Immensely.

4. On the morning of April 1st, 1995, I flew to San Francisco. I was
scheduled to emcee a benefit for Jack Kerouac' s daughter, Jan, who had
been on dialysis treatment for the last few years. On that sunny afternoon,
I was stoned in Washington Square Park, wearing the MAD magazine
jacket that my daughter Holly had given me for Christmas. The smiling
face of Alfred E. Neuman--stating his renowned philosophy, "What--me
worry?" --graced the back of my jacket
