Becky’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for If You Lived Here You'd Be Home By Now: Why We Traded the Commuting Life for a Little House on the Prairie

If You Lived Here You'd Be Home By Now: Why We Traded the Commuting Life for a Little House on the Prairie by Christopher Ingraham

1 note & 5 highlights

In many states, day care is now more expensive than a college education.

With 2 girls under the age of 5 in both daycare and part-time preschool this really resonated with me.

“We'd rather have satisfaction and the maximum titillation than real information, and so history, I insist to my good friend Steve Welch, isn't a cold sequential list of facts, it's a prize anthology of the best fiction.”
― Poe Ballantine, Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere: A Memoir

“My brain is like a Snapple cap. It can hold one piece of information at a time.”
― Mike Birbiglia, The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad

“Indeed factual stories are so cumbersome, ambiguous, unexciting, and difficult to understand most of the time that they are almost always instantly reconstructed and condensed for better emotional digestion into folktales with foreign villains and blue-eyed saviors.”
― Poe Ballantine, Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere: A Memoir
