Out There - Wednesday, March 5, 2008 Clayton: I don't write to have people fawn over it.

Out There - Saturday, March 15, 2008 Miriam: No matter what I do, no matter how innocent it is, people are always going to assume it's something scandalous. / Chuck: And you rarely do anything to dissuade them of that notion, because you like the attention. / Miriam: Is that horrible?

Out There - Friday, March 28, 2008 Sherry: You and Miriam make an odd pair as friends, I never thought she'd pick someone like you. / John: We often don't pick our friends, so much as end up with them. / Sherry: Yeah, but she really likes you.
