So I started shoveling Bob's driveway, which is a strange thing to do at a New Years Eve Party

people who try to control situations all the time are afraid that if they don't, nothing will work out the way they want.

I guess I'm pretty emotional.

The movie itself was very interesting, but I didn't think it was very good because I didn't really feel different when it was over.

Part of the reason I wrote the book was I wanted to understand for myself why such good people let themselves get treated so badly.

I look at the field, and I think about the boy who just made the touchdown. I think that these are the glory days for that boy, and this moment will just be another story someday because all the people who make touchdowns and home runs will become somebody's dad. And when his children look at his yearbook photograph, they will think that their dad was rugged and handsome and looked a lot happier than they are. I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.

As you see the opening get closer, you just can't get fast enough. And finally, just when you think you'll never get there, you see the opening right in front of you.
