bar best card choose dinner dive eat good meant near picked report town train
When I was a kid, we didn't eat in restaurants much, but a good report card meant my sister or I could choose anyplace in town for a dinner out, and I always picked Benny's, a dive bar near the train station, because they had the best nachos around.
known love
I think the place we love the most is the Parc des Buttes Chaumont. It's in the 19th arrondissement. It's where I would go jogging and my wife, Rachel, and I would go for walks. It's appreciated by Parisians but it's not really known to tourists.
eats orange segment system tastes white yellow
My mother still has a three-step system to eating candy corn. First she eats the white tip, then the orange middle, then the yellow end. She swears each segment tastes different.

Lunch is the best time of day to eat in Paris. Then you get to go walk it off afterwards.

I think one of my favorite things about Paris is the ever-present, nonstop beauty of the city. So I would just walk as much as possible.

For years, I've felt an obligation to harvest an animal, since all my life I've so mindlessly consumed them. But that was from the safety of my desk.
digest email explain happens public writers writes
That's the thing: once it's in their hands, it's not my book anymore, it's theirs. I have no idea what happens when they start to digest it. So when someone writes me to explain how they read it, what it was like, what they enjoyed, there's a thrill. Writers who don't make their email addresses public are missing out on something wonderful.
died easy families gradual left lose
My grandmother died from Alzheimer's, and it was a big shock. For the families left behind, it is not an easy closure. It's not a gradual fading. The person is losing so much of their humanity as they're dying. Losing your memories, you lose so much of who you are as a person.

As a child, I was bonkers for Christmas. The entire month of December, I couldn't sleep at night from anticipation.
favorite lucky visit
Venice, Italy, is one of my favorite cities, a place I've been lucky enough to visit twice.
ambition college dream grew head paris
My ambition was to be cosmopolitan. I grew up in the suburbs. I went to college in Maine. I had a dream in my head that if you wanted to be the most urbane, living-life-to-the-fullest kind of person, Paris was the place to be.
comics evoke good shuffle taught
Tintin comics evoke Bermuda, where my parents doled out comics for good behavior and my grandmother taught me how to shuffle cards.
boy fired last safe scout
About guns, about hunting, it's safe to say I know nothing. The last gun I fired was a musket at Boy Scout camp.
cowboy smoking type unless
I actually don't think there is machismo in America, unless it's the cowboy type - the silent, smoking brooder.
