The major events in our lives receive the entire spotlight, but ultimately your life will be defined by the same handful of choices you make each day.
We made love like two smiles torturing a frown. My advice is to put it on the rack, and really stretch out the event.
Dates are convenient hooks on which we can hang our memories of events. But history is all about people - people like you and me who did things to change the world.
The two events were probably unrelated, but both jolted Dave the way a sudden air pocket reminds nervous passengers that they’re soaring above the clouds in a pressurized metal tube.
Strangely, I thought of the emotion I ought to feel without feeling it, as impartial as a National Geographic field researcher, carefully watching the events and chronicling them in a notebook.
