Kettle of Corruption

It can be heart wrenching to be immersed in this pot of corruption in the kitchen we call Coatesville. We have been simmering in that pot a long time. It gets hot and stinky in this kitchen and sometimes I would just like to get out of it and move as far away as possible.

But most people do not know the ingredients and the actors who throw things into the pot as well as I do. Not many people know how those ingredients interact and know intuitively what it's going to taste like and smell like when it's done.

Knowing so very much about the ingredients and how they cook together comes with the responsibility to stick around. If I jump ship I could regret the rest of my life.

Maybe what really keeps me here is that I know what the pot once tasted like. I know what a very good dish Coatesville can serve up.
