When I write, I fall into the zone many writers, painters, musicians, athletes, and craftsmen of all sorts seem to share: In doing something I enjoy and am expert at, deliberate thought falls aside and it is all just THERE. I think of the next word no more than the composer thinks of the next note.

Beguiled by George S. Bush's easy smile and casual indifference to the details, we are on the brink of electing him to office. This isn't choosing a president, it's casting the lead in a sitcom about the presidency.

Art is the closest we can come to understanding how a stranger really feels.

Sometimes, it's all about the casting.

I am proudly a liberal. I am also patriotic, reasonable, pro-American, and stand for family values.

Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with.

Open-heart surgery is now part of a typical life experience for many people. Folks talk casually about 'having a stent put in,' as if they had their tires rotated.

There must be a better reason to have a baby than to provide a plot point in a rom-com. Don't you think?
