I Suppose I Do Have One Embarrassing

Even After I'd Published Three Books And Had Been Writing Full-time For Twenty Years, My Father Continued To Urge Me To Go To Law School.

Recently, I Have Come To Assume That Any Call To My Landline Is From A Telemarketer Or An Automated Call From Terminex, Letting Me Know That Our Regularly Scheduled Pest-extermination Service Will Occur On Its Regular Schedule. So I Usually Ignore My Home Phone.

Like Writing, Running Is So Much About Mind Over Matter. There Are Times When You Have To Override The Discomfort And Keep Pushing. That Capacity To Endure And Then Prevail Is Just Amazing.

I Don't Like Hiking With Convicts Carrying Machetes.

Keeping Animals, I Have Learned, Is All About Water. Who Even Knew Chickens Drank Water? I Didn't, But They Do, And A Lot.
