A Man After My Own Heart...

"I’ve never regretted not having sons. And perhaps there is even some relief, though I’d never thought of it in those terms until you posed the question. A father of sons is supposed to know what he’s doing, whereas a father of daughters is entitled to be incompetent."

-Richard Russo, author of Straight Man, Empire Falls, and other novels.

Straight Man is one of my all time faves, and a centerpiece of my higher ed in film and fiction class that spawned this blog.
