“We all lose somebody we care about and want to find some comforting way of dealing with it, something that will give us a little closure, a little peace.”

I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'
He who follows his lessons tastes a profound peace, and looks upon everybody as a bunch of manure.
I'm at peace with myself because what I talk about is the way I live.
