1 Age

  • 1. Age for me is just a number.
  • 2. We have become a society that can't self-correct that can't address its obvious problems that can't pull out of its nosedive. And so to our list of disasters let us add this fourth entry: we have entered an age of folly that – for all our Facebooking and the twittling tweedle-dee-tweets of the twitterati – we can't wake up from.
  • 3. When it comes to raising civilized kids there are no hard rules but there are two things on which most parents agree: Boys are generally wilder than girls and adolescents are wilder than kids of any other age. If you've got an adolescent boy you're in the sweet spot for trouble.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The truth sets you free. It's a very liberating thing when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It's amazing.
  • 2. I was blessed because I come from a family where they knock you down before you float away. I have a lot of brothers who just make sure we have our feet on the ground and my mom is a rock star. She is an amazing mother.
  • 3. I really have a great deal of humility in that department and a great deal of respect for people who spend their lives learning how to make these amazing preparations.

3 Anger

  • 1. People are unjust to anger – it can be enlivening and a lot of fun.
  • 2. Like fragile ice anger passes away in time.
  • 3. I like people and get along and I'm afraid to express my anger and my rage.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team the only undefeated season.
  • 2. There is no more lovely friendly and charming relationship communion or company than a good marriage.
  • 3. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Look architecture has a lot of places to hide behind a lot of excuses. 'The client made me do this.' 'The city made me do this.' 'Oh the budget.' I don't believe that anymore.
  • 2. I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.
  • 3. The building of the architecture of a novel – the craft of it – is something I never tire of.
