In my mid-age I do feel more at peace - not with the world, but with myself.

I'm drawn to people that have tasks to do.

I'm looking at the window and can't understand why there are six hundred thousand SUVs here in this little town. No one can even move. Why doesn't everyone just get out and walk?

As a child, I remember being in the pool at this pool party and having to get out of the pool to watch Nixon resign. My first idea of a president was of a guy who was a crook.

The beautiful moment sits very close to the horrific one.

Happiness is a strange word. So conclusive. Happiness is a thing that happens for a moment.

It's been a lifetime of trying to have less beef. Beef comes very naturally to me. I was born with my dukes up, but that's not always necessary anymore. I have to retrain myself.
