"37 years ago, I arrived in America, an 8-year-old Vietnamese refugee. We landed in Seattle where I saw snow for the first time. Everything was clean, white and light-filled. I thought we were in heaven. The first American I met was a little girl with blond curls and blue eyes. She looked exactly like a cherub. I was convinced we were in heaven."

"With all the negative stuff going on in the world, we’ve forgotten one thing. Humans are incredible. Take your hand, reach up over your head and pat yourself on the back. If you hear this and you don’t have four paws, you’re in the club. Sorry Haters, but we’re not all bad."

"We'd spent a year cleaning cat pee from our bath mats, our children's toys, and our clean laundry basket. The vet had run tests ruling out urinary tract infections, kidney stones, parasites, thyroid disease, gastrointestinal disturbances, neuromuscular problems, infectious diseases and cancer. We'd gotten a special litter box and a new type of cat door and different food. In the end, the vet told us that the standard treatment for what he called "inappropriate elimination," or "house soiling," was Prozac.

And so we put our cat on antidepressants."

"It’s funny how we only hear about suicide when it’s too late – after it’s been committed."

"There is an old saying in medicine “when you hear hoof beats, think of horses not zebras”. But what if you’re the one zebra in a herd of 50,000? Say hello to my son, the zebra."

We were on our way to Garner State Park. It was after church, so my wife packed a lunch for the drive out. Everyone was enjoying each new treat until my youngest daughter discovered the Mint Milano Cookie she was eating would be her last. Her wail was heartrending. At two and a half-years of age, she knew the decibel limits allowed in the car, but she was distraught. Her sorrow knew no bounds

" O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how past the sell date are thy branches. Not decorated, lit-up Christmas trees. I’m talking discarded Christmas trees, dumped on the sidewalk. "

I grew up in the West. They call it the Lower Bottoms.

Everybody in my neighborhood would always tell me, "This is where you're from." "12th street is your home." I became programmed. And lately, that mentality started feeling like a jail. I feel trapped. Like my entire universe is just one block long.
