...first thoughts following the birth of my son Laszlo - after figuring out how to get a pizza into the hospital - was, "What happens if my lovely wife Cassandra and I die in a car crash?" I'm not sure what kind of life I thought Cassandra and I would have driving around late at night, wasted, without our child, but I wish we had worked harder to pursue...
...possible that Cassandra and I could get into some sort of freak accident in which the TiVo remote flew out of my hand and sliced both our jugulars, so we discussed whom we'd choose as Laszlo's legal guardian.

Besides, Ben was going to have to teach him how to play sports...
...wrote much of Lolita in the backseat of the family car, a black 1946 Oldsmobile. (He said it was the only spot in America where he wasn't plagued by noise and drafts.) He didn't use regular paper. Instead he wrote in pencil on index cards, which his wife Vera later typed...
