My mother always says, ‘Eighty percent of what you worry about never happens anyway.’…So much of life is a farce, in both meanings of the word. Much of our life is made up of situations one might find in a traditional comedy—misunderstanding, wrong expectations, and odd situations that, in retrospect, seem quite amusing. How much of what happens is just STUFF?

Of course, there is always that other 20 percent.
