This is from Elizabeth Berg's book Never Change (it's one of the front pages, like the dedications and little quotes and stuff): "This book is dedicated to the memory of John Kirk Farrar. He called himself Johnny K. I called him Johnny K. of the Milky Way. I guess that's where he really does live now. More or less. Once, I was writing an article about what things make the best Christmas presents. So I called John and asked him, 'What's the best present you've ever been given?' He thought for a while, and then he said, 'You know how cats sometimes run sideways?' I said yes. He said, 'That's one.'"
I just love that.
