“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
