Color-Based Pet Names And Childhood Pets
- John and Hank named childhood pets around color-based wordplay like Blue Green the garter snake and Red Green the dog.
- They recall Blue Green dying in a terrarium and Red Green being a poorly behaved, sometimes violent family pet.
Childhood Goldfish Lost Down The Drain
- John recounts losing a goldfish down a sink drain after fair-winning fish were brought home.
- He remembers that his mother told him she was sorry and that 'that was the good one,' a memory that still stings.

- Remember the wedding is one day and the marriage is the long-term project that matters more.
- Do focus on distractions that reliably calm you when anxiety is unproductive, like a familiar game or album.
