Tom [mccarthy] Said To Me,

I Think Of Marriage As A Garden. You Have To Tend To It. Respect It, Take Care Of It, Feed It. Make Sure Everyone Is Getting The Right Amount Of, Um, Sunlight.

I Grew Up On Lake Michigan During The Pcb Explosion, And I Remember Seeing The Sick, Dead Fish With Tumors, The Weird Deformed Seagulls, The Scum And The Filth Floating. We Couldn't Go Swimming.

I Like Extremes. I Like To Change Things Up And Keep From Getting Complacent Or Stale.

The Fact That I Can Make A Living And Support Three Kids And My Wife Doing What I Love To Do... Who Does That? That's Golden. It's A Very Privileged Thing.

There Is Nothing A Good Long Walk Can't Help Work Out.
