unique thinking people
The thing about losing any loved one, I think, particularly in a long disease, is that you know that other people have gone through it and are going through it, but I think for every person it feels unique.
should-have careers people
I really just wanted to be a writer, but people tell you, 'You should have a backup career,' so I thought, 'OK, I'll act.' That was the foolishness of my vision for my life - that my backup career would be completely undependable.
uncles couple holiday
I grew up in this era where your parents' friends were all called aunt and uncle. And then I had an aunt and an aunt. We saw them on holidays and other times. We never talked about it, but I just understood that they were a couple.
father lying moving
My father's body lies in a stone tomb high on a hill. People walk by, pause, think their own thoughts about him and move on, back to their own lives. I can never move on. He is everywhere.
father feelings want
I have a feeling of reverence about my father being in his 80s - a feeling that I want to whisper, take soft steps, not intrude too much. He's like a stately old cathedral to me now.
veteran conspiracy obsessed
I would not call myself a veteran conspiracy theorist. Or an obsessed one. I pretty much peaked on the whole conspiracy theory thing in the '60s, with the grassy knoll, who really killed JFK, and who ordered the hit on Lee Harvey Oswald.
order parent finding-yourself
You have to separate yourself from your parents. You do. In order to find yourself.
father glasses shoes
The house I grew up in had large plate-glass windows, which birds frequently crashed into headfirst. My father helped me assemble a bird hospital, consisting of a few shoe boxes, some old rags, and tiny dishes for water and food.
summer children swimming
When I was a child, our summer days were spent swimming; chlorine in my hair was like perfume to me.
struggle thinking alzheimers
I think the earlier stages of Alzheimer's are the hardest. Particularly because the person knows that they are losing awareness. They're aware that they're losing awareness, and you see them struggling.
against credit missed points score stopping
We can't take credit for stopping Dee Brown. He just missed some shots. I don't want to make him mad, and have him score 40 points against us when we go there.
care health investment lose medical nation sure workers
We as a nation lose if workers aren't healthy, ... It's an investment in workers' health and productivity to make sure they get the medical care they need.
against couple days kids mind next playing rest teams time work
We don't mind playing against teams that are bigger. Our kids are getting better all the time and they're going to try to outwork teams. We'll take a couple of days off to rest and then work on fine-tuning some things in preparation for our next game. Today, on a 1-to-10 scale, we were a 5 1/2. On Monday, we're going to be better.
current deserve fulfill teams
We don't need to do all this. The teams don't deserve it. We need to fulfill the current lease and that's all.
