“The idea for each of the stories in this book came in a moment of belief and was written in a burst of faith, happiness, and optimism. Those positive feelings have their dark analogues, however, and the fear of failure is a long way from the worst of them.

“That's right, Mitt Romney took on Evander Holyfield in a boxing match for charity, and it was a pretty one-sided fight. But it was still not the worst boxing match we've seen this month. This weekend Vladimir Putin played in an exhibition hockey game with some former NHL players and scored eight goals. Even Evander Holyfield and Mitt Romney said, 'That looks fake.'” LooksSaidStillsFightingGamesGoalPlayerWorstMonthsCharityEightFormerFakeBoxingHockeyWeekendRomneyPutinNhlExhibitionsOne SidedBoxing Matches Author:Jimmy Fallon
