We're Tuesday people.
Mitch Albom
I don't use any fance quill pens or pads, because I can't read my own handwriting. I just use whatever computer is laying around, and start writing.

Mitch Albom
If you could pack for heaven, this was how you'd do it, touching everything, taking nothing.
Mitch Albom
I feel ashamed now that I tried to take my life. It is such a precious thing. I had no one to talk me out of my despair and that was a mistake. You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
Mitch Albom
Timing is everything. That´s right. Which is why our sages tell us to repent exactly one day before we die. But how do you know it´s the day before you die? I asked. He raised his eyebrows. Exactly

I think, in general, the sports I've enjoyed covering the most have been the offbeat ones. The more popular, mainstream, the less I like them because they're more, they're more structured and the players don't have much interesting to say because they're interviewed all the time.
