Loudon Wainwright III Quotes
My father writings stuff was always his personal stuff, like about the day we had to put our dog down, or finding old photographs of his father, or passing a guy he went to boarding school with on a street in New York.

They're almost journalistic in that they're very clear, and very specific, and they describe things.
