Quote from Family Man

Jack: We have a house in Jersey. We have two kids, Annie and Josh. Annie's not much of a violin player, but she tries real hard. She's a little precocious, but that's only because she says what's on her mind. And when she smiles... And Josh, he has your eyes. He doesn't say much, but we know he's smart. He's always got his eyes open, he's always watching us. Sometimes you can look at him and you just know he's learning something new. It's like witnessing a miracle. The house is a mess but it's ours. After 122 more payments, it's going to be ours. And you, you're a non-profit lawyer. That's right, you're completely non-profit, but that doesn't seem to bother you. And we're in love. After 13 years of marriage we're still unbelievably in love. You won't even let me touch you until I've said it. I sing to you. Not all the time, but definitely on special occasions. We've dealt with our share of surprises and made a lot of sacrifices but we've stayed together. You see, you're a better person than I am. And it made me a better person to be around you. I don't know, maybe it was just all a dream. Maybe I went to bed one lonely night in December and I imagined it all. But I swear, nothing has ever felt more real. And if you get on that plane right now, it'll disappear forever. I know we could both go on with our lives and we'd both be fine, but I've seen what we could be like together. And I choose us.

"The American Male at Age Ten" Excerpt

"The collision in his mind of what he understands, what he hears, what he figures out, what popular culture pours into him, what he knows, what he pretends to know, and what he imagines makes an interssting mess." - "The American Male at Age Ten" by Susan Orlean

Alphabet Playlist - "True Love Waits" - Radiohead

How have I gone this long without seeing Radiohead in concert? I like this better live than the studio recording.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Quote

My dad was the greatest dad in the world because you were the worst.
My dad went to Bronx side high school where he was the student editor of the paper.
When he graduated he went to Rutgers, where he majored in Biochemistry.

He met my mom in a bookstore
and he asked her to marry him in Norwalk, Connecticut.
And every summer we'd go back to Toby Pond and he would ask her to marry him again.

The day I was born he pressed leaves between wax paper
and they still hang there in the bedroom window.
He wanted to become a scientist but he became a jeweler so he could earn money for our family.
