1 Age

  • 1. Despite what anti-aging ads say growing older can be better. I feel better in my skin 100 percent. You have greater effects of gravity but the better sense of yourself you have is something I wouldn't trade. Women who lie about their age – 'why?'
  • 2. I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get the younger their new wives get.
  • 3. Credit or debit cards for starters are nothing short of shoppers' Novocain. Even in the age of digital purchases and virtual money we still attach a special value to dirty paper with pictures of presidents on it. Handing some of that to a cashier simply hurts more than handing over a little sliver of plastic.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I was about 14 and my friend's stepdad asked me to do a 10K with him because his son – who was more into basketball – didn't want to. It was amazing and I still remember the time I got: 48:23.
  • 2. Everything has combined to make my life in New York an amazing experience. I told my manager a few years ago that I wanted to move here and try acting in the theater.
  • 3. More and more couples are having this negotiation or discussion but I'm still amazed at the number who aren't and where the cultural norm sort of kicks in and they just assume that mom's got to be the one who stays home not dad.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger elicits anger fear elicits fear no matter how well meaning we may be.
  • 2. Every child senses with all the horse sense that's in him that any parent is angry inside when children misbehave and they dread more the anger that is rarely or never expressed openly wondering how awful it might be.
  • 3. Anger and hate against one we love steels our hearts but contempt or pity leaves us silent and ashamed.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
  • 2. And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team the only undefeated season.
  • 3. The heart of marriage is memories and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns then your marriage is a gift from the gods.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I acquired an admiration for Japanese culture art and architecture and learned of the existence of the game of GO which I still play.
  • 2. Every man's work whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else is always a portrait of himself.
