I am an only child, so I actually don't have the sibling squick much. One of my favorite books is Hotel New Hampshire. Although since reading one of his more recent books, I sort of wonder if John Irving was molested in some way .
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have to run away from this conversation now!

I have to say, I've been personally offended that the one story/movie to make it to visual media with the name "New Hampshire" in it involved incest.
I was all excited, renting it based on my home-state love, and then "WTF?@!!".
Incest or witches, that's all NH is good for.

People from MA would add that NH is good for discount liquor!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm still living in the 80s, because I always think tattoos and fireworks!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I don't understand why I now love "70's lite rock" station on Pandora so much. I did not particularly like it in the 70's.
I am in the middle of a nostalgia kick that's reached embarrassing levels (the other day, I heard Bertie Higgins' "Key Largo" on the radio and enjoyed it! Unironically!) I've got the eighties pretty well covered at this stage (my eighties playlist now runs to 853 songs, just including the commercially released singles), so I've moved onto the seventies, despite paying the music little attention when I was living through it. At this rate my retirement will be marked by Gregorian chants.

Apparently Mass residents driving to NH to get booze and cigs at a discount got so bad that when they ID you in NH, they're not looking for your age, but your state.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
One of my favorite books is Hotel New Hampshire.
Man, I *loved* that book with a fierce, burning love in high school and college. I re-read it in my 30s, and I was like, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, JOHN IRVING?

I love "Escape" (the Pina Colada song) like crazy. I've promised Tim I won't sneak it onto the wedding dance party playlist. (No promises were made about Tom Jones, though. It is going to be the cheesy dance party to end all cheesy dance parties.)
