Men are all right for friends, but as soon as you marry them they turn into cranky old fathers, even the wild ones. They begin to tell you what's sensible and what's foolish, and want you to stick at home all the time. I prefer to be foolish when I feel like it, and be accountable to nobody.
Willa Cather

I was a good surfer because we grew up a block from the water, and my father took us to the ocean the way other fathers take their kids to the park.
