Don't judge a book by its cover 'til you've read the book.

I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.

By the way, food and rent aren't the only things around here that cost money. You sleep on the couch.

My favorite time of the holidays is when the children have torn open their loot and delivered their verdicts and are looking to you for something else ... memories that have nothing to do with things bought.

Kids are going to try drugs and alcohol; that's part of society.
