The best theory is the one that explains the data gathered in the most parsimonious manner. Occam's razor never seems to leave me alone. I grew up here. I was weaned on this formula for understanding the events whirling around me. This occurred in large part because my father, being an engineer, was also weaned in this train of thought or philosophy

It was all he thought of and it was all he spoke of as he walked. He carried the rose red razor in his right hand and his left was clenched tight.

David has been my best friend since eighth grade. He has helped me through countless breakups and heartbreaks, he has held me while I cried, and he has taken up for me when I need friend. My mother will tell you that he is like the son she never had, and my friends will tell you that it is a wonder how, after six years of being best friends, we haven’t found a way to kill each other.

These hedges hoard any objects spattered off the road by scurrying vehicles in the November rains. It felt like I was going round in a circle, my battered tyres skating round the bends and twists of the road. The
