God, grant me strength to accept those things I cannot change.

Although I studied Dante's Inferno as a student, it wasn't until recently, while researching in Florence, that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante's work on the modern world.

I remember devouring the entire Hardy Boys series over one summer, enthralled by their bravery and cleverness.

I spend my life essentially alone at a computer. That doesn't change. I have the same challenges every day.

Can you keep secrets? Can you know a thing and never say it again?

Sometimes a legend that endures for centuries... endures for a reason.

There's a lot of stress... but once you get in the car, all that goes out the window.
