Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game's over.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Don't waste your time on jealousy.

Every day each of us wakes up, reaches into drawers and closets, pulls out a costume for the day and proceeds to dress in a style that can only be called preposterous.

You can figure out who you were by which movies you loved when

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
