QUOTE : They say bad things come in threes, but I don't think that's true. I think bad things keep right on coming. They don't stop. They'll never stop. It's just too depressing to keep counting, so we start over after the third bad thing. We hold our breath. We wait. We hope the universe will wait with us. But then something else bad happens, and with dread and short memories we utter to ourselves, "Okay, that's one," and we brace for what's next. Something's always next.
