I was once hired to write a column for 'The Guardian' and then got fired before I'd submitted my first one. That was unusual. Most newspapers wait until I've written at least one piece for them before firing me. ↗

Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn't. I went on ride-alongs, spent time with Homicide, Cold Case, and SVU detectives, hung out in subways learning how to spot pervs and pick-pockets, viewed an autopsy, went to a police firing range, and witnessed court cases and I read, read, read. ↗

I don't even like firing people. I don't think I've ever said, 'You're fired' to anybody. ↗

I love to go to the playground and watch the children jumping up and down. They don't know I'm firing blanks. ↗

The baby boomers are getting older, and will stay older for longer. And they will run right into the dementia firing range. How will a society cope? Especially a society that can't so readily rely on those stable family relationships that traditionally provided the backbone of care? ↗

It was comical because you're at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns. ↗
