If you've gone into a marriage and you haven't been clear about how you're going to handle money, how you want to raise kids, who is going to work or stay home or what have you, then you've set yourself up for failure.

So long as I can stay mentally alert - inquiring, curious - I want to keep going. I love my wife and my children, but I don't want to sit around at home with them. We go on safaris and things like that. I can do that for a couple of weeks a year. I'm just not ready to stop, to die.

Everybody at home speaks mandarin except me.

The wonderful world of home appliances now makes it possible to cook indoors with charcoal and outdoors with gas.

It is often easier to become outraged by injustice half a world away than by oppression and discrimination half a block from home.
