It's a Slippery Slope
Master monologist Spalding Gray is feeling like he's on the downhill side of life. For those who  have followed his beautifully observed stories of his rather chaotic life throughSwimming to  Cambodia,Gray's Anatomy, andMonster in a Box, this latest episode has Gray dealing  with his breakup with long-suffering girlfriend Renee and his sudden fathering of a child with a new  woman. Along the way Gray ponders, in patented Gray style, what this means about his own aging,  whether he's now living his life to provide material for his monologues, and how much it all resembles the  peculiar plummeting rapture of a ski slope.
