I learned a long time ago that trying to micromanage the perfect vacation is always a disaster. That leads to terrible times.

I'm a comic nerd. I'm a former serious collector for much of my childhood and early teen years I wanted to draw underground comics.

My daughter always behaved in restaurants. And if she didn't, she's going out. I mean, one of the parents is going to take her outside. Immediately.

I could do nothing but Brooklyn shows for the rest of my career, and I could die ignorant.

I just do the best I can and write something interesting, to tell stories in an interesting way and move forward from there.

The Italians seem to have a better attitude with kids and the food is great!

Always was Morocco. And recently the country's leadership seems to have embraced it in all its ill-reputed glory. The days of predatory poets in search of literary inspiration and young flesh are probably over for good. Hippies can just as easily get their bong riffs in Portland or Peoria. But the good stuff, the real good stuff, the sounds and smells and the look of Tangier -- what you see and hear when you lean out the window and take it all in -- that's here to stay.
