People ask how I think up my thoughts. Mostly I think them up while reading Paul Simon's lyrics.

Death is just another stage of life, although the one you kind of hope comes last.

If you knew that hope and despair were paths to the same destination, which would you choose?

To become a grandparent is to enjoy one of the few pleasures in life for which the consequences have already been paid.

There is no actual law that says that a person of inner beauty cannot also maintain an appearance.

Somewhere between the honest truth and the deceptive lie is the deceptive truth and the honest lie.

At my age, you not only have bittersweet memories, you make bittersweet plans.
