We were young out of town visitors with a night to spend in Boston. We had a nice dinner then went to a comedy club that looked like a Lutheran church basement. Eight-seat folding tables and chairs.

Wright on his imminent fatherhood: I plan to buy two of everything;; two cribs, two highchairs, and a double-stroller.

Eventually the kid will ask: "Did I have a twin?"

I'll say: "Yeah."

He'll say: "What happened to him?"
