From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’

Many things make me happy. Growing and preparing food for people I love is right up there at the top. May all of us, everywhere, have enough to share.
