"your name here"
With pithy public-service announcements about the transitory nature of existence, I remind myself regularly not to get too comfortable here. But it's the kind of advertising that's immediately forgotten as I settle into my comfortable home. In the morning, I take a shower - plenty of hot water - and slip into one of several familiar identities, a few of them the worse for wear but nothing a little accessorizing won't fix. They all answer to the name "Sy." They all recognize Sy's aging face in the mirror. They're all unable to accept that at any moment all of this will end.
- Sy Safransky
