I love this quote from the short story “Monday” by Mark Helprin:
“I’m fifty-three,” he answered with analytical detachment. “My father died at fifty nine. What good is money? If I have six years left or thirty, it makes no difference. My life will be buoyant, and my death will be tranquil, only if I can rest upon a store of honor.”
Insightful, brother. ALthough I'm a little distressed that you didn't inform your favorite little sister about your blog. I'm hurt. Deeply. But I love what you've done with the place.

ReplyDeleteSorry, G, I could have sworn I told you about the blog. I hope a new pet fish will help heal your deep wounds when you get back.
