Change, to our predecessors, were sudden, exogenous events -- earthquakes, floods, an eclipse, a saber-toothed tiger lunging at you out of nowhere. They were things to be dealt with in the moment. Then things naturally reverted back to the norm. But now change happens over you. Change itself is the flood. Change itself is the saber-tooth. Change itself is the norm.

Miriam "Midge" Maisel

Miriam, I have done a lot for you over the years. I jumped onto a subway track to retrieve your third favorite hat. I came to your apartment at four a.m. to kill a cockroach -- turned out to be a raisin. I’ve euthanized three of your elderly pets. I wrung out your wet bras on hotel terraces. I wrestled a Turkish police officer to the ground. I kept Ethel Merman away from you!
