How do I live longer?
Stress is a leading cause of early death. Avoid stress by spending every single day thinking about what you need to do to not die. If that doesn’t work, try meditation. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and remember that each second of meditation is a battle in the war on Father Time. Good luck, soldier.

I remember my disappointment boarding a Greyhound bus for the first time in the mid-eighties. I had inherited a vague mythology of epic journeys and vistas, artists escaping small-town America — Warhol, Dylan — and a very English, self-deprecating assumption that a Greyhound had to be bigger, shinier, and swifter than a National Express coach.
