I tell my kids, "Look, your life is a video game, and I have to get you from level zero to 18 as an independent person with all your skills and limbs intact. Every time you hit your brother or throw food, you're taking us all back."

As I have gotten older, I've discovered the joys of being lazy.

I had many decades of me time and now I just don't have that anymore. There are days when I rail against it.

I'm built like a 14-year-old boy. I have no waist, so anything I wear has to have a lot of trickeration going on. I don't fit into girl dresses. I can't just slip it on.

Baltimore is a great place.

It's a war of attrition. If you have patience and a modicum of faith in yourself your chances are not too bad.

I read some article where Reese Witherspoon said, "If you're not yelling at your kids, you're not spending enough time with them." It made me feel so much better.
