“TOP FIVE THINGS I WANT FOR MY LIFE
1. I want to quit drinking.
2. I want to move to a big city. Minneapolis or Saint Paul. But maybe Milwaukee or Duluth or even Chicago.
3. I want to earn my MBA.
4. I want a job with benefits. I want two weeks of vacation, every year. I want to get my eyes checked and my teeth cleaned.
5. I want to see a glacier before they're all gone.”

“I wanted you to be able to change your life, but I also wanted it to be a tough decision. It's not a virtue, but you get to be my age, and, well, sometimes a person forgets that a gift should be a gift. Not a lesson with a thousand strings attached.”
― Nickolas Butler, A Forty Year Kiss

“Before long, Santa and his team landed on their final rooftop of the night. Santa disappeared down the chimney with the last few gifts of Christmas, then reappeared a moment later.
"All right, team," he said. "One last stop!"
"But Santa, your bag is empty!" said Dasher. "How can we deliver more presents?"
Santa smiled. "Some presents don't fit inside my bag," he said.”

“The board of the UAW splintered over whether to back Biden, rescind its endorsement of him, or call on him publicly to ride away in the first American-made car he could find. But there was a growing sentiment that Democrats stood a better chance of winning - that the union's interests would be best served - if he dropped out.”
