...if I wasn't mourned, then one more time.

Since I never say anything that I want to say, I'll just put the best quote I've heard in a long time, which some girl apparently said to Christopher.

Any girl who won't kiss to glassjaw really isn't a girl at all.

This is part of a New York Times interview with Walter Mosley who is apparently an author of mysery novels.

I thought it was at least a little relevant to what you were saying last night about people not wanting to be happy.

But isn't there anyone you love?

Sure. I have a lot of love in my life -- friends, girlfriends, my mother. But I have always been a loner. I wake up every morning and sit down at my desk before I am even dressed.

Are you going to tell me that your idea of happiness is a good morning's work?

The real question to ask is not are you happy or not happy. The question to ask is this, How important is happiness?

I knew an artist who broke up with his girlfriend because she said she wanted to be happy.

I can understand that. I am a political writer. I see a lot of injustice in the world. I see 5,000 or 10,000 people dying of AIDS in Africa every day -- how can you complain about things when you know that the life span in Botswana is 32 years old? Life can be really hard, and almost anyone's life in America is pretty easy.

P.S. One of these days we really are getting Gus's breadsticks and making a Dr. Seuss-like book. That's what I want for my birthday, so you have until July 19 to accomodate my wishes :)
