I told myself, Eventually, you'll get it together. There was always a later. Soon the kids will notice, I worried. I never grew up with alcohol in the house, and we had so much. If the kids started questioning us about why, I wouldn't have the answer. Because I didn't know why we had so much alcohol. Except that our house was always the party house for all our friends. When the kids notice, I promised myself, I'd stop.

I am deeply sensitive to the spell of nationalism. I can play about thirty Bohemian folk songs ... on my mouth-organ. My oldest friend, who is Czech and a patriot, cannot bear to hear me play them because he says I do it in such a schmalzy way, 'crying into the mouth organ'.
