Quote of the Day

We stood outside in the dark and looked up at the stars. She chattered for a while, like she always does when she drinks. She chatters, and my thoughts get serious. As soon as she got quiet, I spoke.

"What happened to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Suddenly I find myself standing in the yard with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and I have to ask, 'Who the hell am I?'"

And she laughed. And after a moment, so did I.
