Not just because I've populated it with satyrs who love to make women happy, but because I was too young in 1963 to fully appreciate it. Fleischmanns, a little resort town in the Catskills, was alive with European refugees from Hitler, with astonishing stories of escape and renewal. I heard some of the stories but now I'd be able to ask detailed questions. And I'd make myself a few years older than I was in 1963, so I could get into the hotel nightclubs and dance. (less)

“Death, I now see, may not come when I am 85 and weary, or after I have solved all my problems or met all my deadlines. It will come whenever it damn well pleases; all I can control is the time between. So when I see something I want, I grab it. If the tulips are particularly yellow, I buy them. ”
Joyce Wadler

“All I can control—for whatever fight I put up should a cancer make a comeback—is the time between.”
Joyce Wadler, My Breast, One Woman's Cancer Story
