About my boss, Tyler tells me, if I'm really angry, I should go to the post office and fill out a change-of-address card and have all his mail forwarded to Rugby, North Dakota.

A baby is such a blank slate, like training the understudy for a role you're planning to leave. You truly hope your replacement will do the play justice, but in secret you want future critics to say you played the character better.

What you forget when you're planning a hijack by yourself is somewhere along the line, you might need to neglect your hostages just long enough so you can use the bathroom.

Those who can forget the past are way ahead of the rest of us.

This is your life and its ending one moment at a time.

Your folks are god, you love them and you want to make them happy but you still want to make up your own rules.

Everything is still falling apart.
