Actually, The Books Were Never A Planned

My Mother And Stepfather Were Married 43 Years, So I Have Watched A Long Marriage. I Feel Like I Had A Very Good Role Model For That. And, You Know, It's Just A Number.

So, Am I Friendly With My Daughter And Her Friends? Yes. Am I Their Friend? No. Does She Shut The Door? Yes, And I Very Much Support The Shut Door.

My Mother Was The Most Beautiful Woman I Have Ever Seen. There Are Moments When I Remember Her Beauty, Unadorned, Unposed, Not In Some Artificial Place Like A Set Or A Photo Call But Rather Captured Outdoors In Nature, Where She Took My Breath Away. When Those Moments Surface, I Miss Her The Most.

My Favorite Time Of The Holidays Is When The Children Have Torn Open Their Loot And Delivered Their Verdicts And Are Looking To You For Something Else ... Memories That Have Nothing To Do With Things Bought.

Getting Sober Was The Single Bravest Thing I've Ever Done And Will Ever Do In My Life.
