    I did also welcome him to this great stage of fools, but I guess my outlook on existence has improved, where I'd rather mark the moment with Wordsworth. I also told him about "trailing clouds of glory."

    His first book was the same as Fox's, fyi. It was On the Day You Were Born. It seemed fitting.
