I'm a journalist writing my first non-fiction book. It's taking me across the world, and I want nothing more than locals to tell me their stories and, if you have time, show me around town.

PHILOSOPHY

A friend bumbled this wonderful wisdom: "You can't crash a broken plane because it can't fly."

Unfortunately, he was sober.
