Anyway, wow! What a coincidence that you know Mark Salzman! Have you read Lost in Place? I loved it - hilarious! And it was the first autobiography I’ve read by someone close to my own age. I even made my book club read it.
In fact, my book club has a running joke that I’m going to get Mr. Salzman to come to Minnesota and talk with us about his writing.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

Lisa: It’s a German term for `shameful joy’, taking pleasure in the suffering of others.

Lisa: [nastily] Sour grapes.
Homer: Boy, those Germans have a word for everything!
