“Every day is like a kid's drawing, offered to you with a strange mix of ceremoniousness and offhand disregard, yours for the keeping. Some of the days are rich and complicated, others inscrutable, others little more than a stray gray mark on a ragged page. Some you manage to hang on to, though your reasons for doing so are often hard to fathom. But most of them you just ball up and throw away.” LittlesHardReasonKidsRichStrangePagesBallsMarkComplicatedDrawingManageGrayDisregardFathomRaggedInscrutable Author:Michael Chabon
