Invariably we hadn't seen a quarter as much as he had, nor half enough to satisfy him. I've never forgotten the ludicrous image of a person standing in the shower with a raincoat buttoned up to his chin. The best way to discard that raincoat, I've found, is to expose yourself to new experiences in your life all your life. This doesn't come naturally, by any means. And yet, with marvelous impartiality, each of us is given exactly the same number of minutes and hours in every day.
Time is the raw material.
What we do with it is up to us. A wise man once said that tragedy is not what we suffer, but what we miss. Keep that in mind, Sandy. Your affectionate godfather.
