For me, it was reading a Pushkin poem in Iowa City, just a short love poem, but very powerful, and it convinced me to go after a girl I had been indifferent towards, but now she was the same to me, and she got under my skin.

It was a hot night in Phoenix. I was playing poker in the back room of this little dive. At about 4:AM the guy across from me thought he had me beat, but he was out of money. He threw in the deed to a condo in the metro-west suburbs of Boston, plus a wife and a dog. We laid out our hands. I had a royal straight flush. He had aces high.
