Great lines from our event with John Hodgman
On “mansplaining”
“There’s no mansplaining like white mansplaining because white mansplaining don’t stop.”
On aging
“I think we have these moments in life where we feel like we’re no longer becoming something, we’ve ended up something.”
On Maine
“The water is made of hate and wants to kill you; the beaches are made of rocks and knives.”
On lakes
“…fetid pools of fish parts.”
On having houses in Massachusetts and Maine
“…and that’s how we ended up with these two summer homes. Are you enjoying my relatable comedy?”
