I am more than just a serious basketball fan. I am a life-long addict. I was addicted from birth, in fact, because I was born in Kentucky and I learned, early on, that Habitual Domination was a natural way of life.

Things are no longer what they seem to be. My telephones are haunted, and animals whisper at me from unseen places.

There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death?

Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception.

I damn well intend to keep on living the way I think I should.

A little bit of this town goes a very long way.
