  Why are my best friends Jewish?

This is a real question. I don’t know the answer and I’m curious.

  One big choice shapes a hundred more

I was 36, and had been living in Portland for two years. I saw an amazing house for sale — really amazing — stunning design, ideal location on the edge of the city, and its backyard was the start of a huge state park. I had a visceral reaction.

  I’m in the final third of my life

  To question is to consider, not refute

Tomorrow you have plans to go to an event with a friend. You made the plans a month ago. You ask your friend, “Do you still want to go?”

  Rats are surprisingly sweet pets

I used to live in a basement apartment, next to the trash room. Rats were often blocking my door, and I could hear them walking in the ceiling right above me as I slept. I hated them so much that I happily killed as many as I could, with no remorse.
