Makes me feel better about going to Europe to bum around instead of going to grad school in comp lit--which I almost did. I learned more in those nine months of travel than I would have reading Latin and shriveling up!
After decades of resolving on every New Year's Eve to quit smoking, drinking, and drugging, I finally followed the advice of a fellow slouch. "Never make New Year's resolutions," he told me one January first, while sharing a joint. Thereupon, I resolved never to make New Year's resolutions. Now I have been smokeless, clean, and sober for twelve years.

Why does it seem that this would be an even more daring decision now?
