Yes, my mind was wandering. I wished I were there with someone who could bring peace to my heart someone with whom I could spend a little time without being afraid that i would lose him the next day.

I wouldn't have to worry about serious matters, about difficult decisions and hard words.
Paulo Coelho
I'm the guy that has written at great length about exactly how we should profoundly reform Social Security.
