Jeannie is Bill Clinton, and I am Al Gore. She "feels their pain," and I'm the dork reminding them to turn off the lights. I'm always Joe Biden saying the wrong thing.

In Jim Gaffigan's book "Dad Is Fat," he humorously compares himself and his wife, Jeannie, to political figures. He suggests that Jeannie embodies empathy and connection, much like Bill Clinton, who is known for his ability to relate to others. In contrast, Gaffigan describes himself as the more practical and sometimes awkward counterpart, akin to Al Gore, who is often focused on important details and reminders. Gaffigan also likens himself to Joe Biden, known for his occasional verbal slip-ups, highlighting his own tendency to say the wrong thing. This playful analogy reflects his perspective on parenting, where he feels like the more sensible but sometimes clumsy partner, navigating the challenges of family life while Jeannie brings warmth and understanding to their parenting dynamic.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
