...good time. Like the early novelists, his primary source material is in the drift heaps of mass culture. But from those things he produces work that's not just enjoyable but also edifying: his abrupt couplings of borrowed sound--a riff sampled off an old 45, a scrap of dialogue from an old movie--point us to connections we've never made before...

Remember how hard you prayed in March? Please, God, give me just one little rally in tech stocks. I'll sell what I have left, I swear, and never again commit the sins of underdiversification and speculation. Well, you can throw that pledge on the scrap heap of desperate promises never kept.

...during the race I finished 40th again. Everyone else must have felt better too, and it all evens out with the same result. My shooting was much better the second day and I actually ended up being tied for fifth place for overall best shooter. This is just the scrap of success that I need to turn this whole thing into a fantastic victory. A little number-crunching and I see that I outshot two of the three members of the U.S. National team and four of the five members of the Army World Class Athlete Program. Both these teams...
