“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.”
― A Forty Year Kiss

“If something happened to me, I have no idea what would happen to that cellar. Maybe - maybe - one of my cousins would know that they were worth something? But I could also see someone donating them to some church. Here, they'd say, carting in box after box of wine. Guess you should be all set on communion juice for a while.”

“You know what I think? Charlie asked.
That I should relax?
That you look incredible. I can't believe how lucky I am to be here with you tonight. That after all the years that went by and all the stupid decisions I made, that somehow, this is possible. You're the most beautiful woman in this restaurant.
Come on, she laughed, that's not true.
Yes. It is, he insisted.
You're not even looking. I could easily point to ten women who are most definitely prettier than me. She scanned the room. Okay, five or six anyway.
You're exactly right. I'm not looking. I don't need to look.”

“As a farmer, he collected everything. Anything and everything that came to rest on their farm was a treasure. Or a potential treasure. He housed it all in various outbuildings.”

“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.”
