Catch a Wave

.
Scary Steve

“[W]hat really scares me is Alzheimer’s or premature senility, losing that ability to read and enjoy and to write. And you do it, and some days maybe aren’t so good, and then some days, you really catch a wave, and it’s as good as it ever was. So, it’s tough to imagine giving it up.”

—Stephen King, novelist and writing guy, “Stephen King wants to reach out and grab you — with his writing,” PBS Newshour, Oct. 6, 2016

• Editorial Comment: I love it when I catch the wave.
