Getting hired. With the possible exception of my daughters’ births and my wedding day, the happiest moments of my life were when someone offered me a job.
Watching my girls laugh together. It is more short-lived than I’d like, but it does happen!
I’m walking down a street in New York, the sun is shining, I’m on my way to see friends who are chosen family—and I’ve just written a couple of pages that I like.
I’ve discovered that I have no happiness other than my dogs’. If they’re happy, I’m happy. That sounds like something my mother used to say about her children, which I always thought was slightly manipulative and way overstated. I was wrong.
My ambition is to hit .400 and talk 1.000.
Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too.
I’m very happy about it. You know, a kid from the Hill being elected to the Hall of Fame. Proud of it.
Talking too much.
