I'm going to quit writing.

I'm going to quit writing.

As a man, I've been representative of the values I hold dear. And the values I hold dear are carryovers from the lives of my parents.

Of all my father's teachings, the most enduring was the one about the true measure of a man. That true measure was how well he provided for his children, and it stuck with me as if it were etched in my brain.

I had learned something of Miami from people who had visited there, so I knew what to expect.

Far as I can tell, I still have most of my hair, my gut is not hanging over my belt, and I still have all of my teeth.

I always wanted to be someone better the next day than I was the day before.
