Abstract:
In this memoir, the author shares her observations about her daughter as well as her own thoughts and fears about having children and growing old, in a personal account that discusses her daughter's wedding and her feelings of failure as a parent. It opens on July 26, 2010, as Didion thinks back to Quintana's wedding in New York seven years before. Today would be her wedding anniversary. This fact triggers vivid snapshots of Quintana's childhood, in Malibu, in Brentwood, at school in Holmby Hills. Reflecting on her daughter but also on her role as a parent, Didion asks the candid questions any parent might about how she feels she failed either because cues were missed or perhaps displaced. Seamlessly woven in are incidents Didion sees as underscoring her own age, something she finds hard to acknowledge, much less accept.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The way Drew Brees is playing <a href="http://www.niceworldjerseys.com/">nfl jerseys</a> as the heart and soul of the New Orleans Saints, nothing is safe.
Not Dan Marino's NFL single-season passing record, not Aaron Rodgers' presumed MVP award and perhaps not even the label for best team in <a href="http://www.niceworldjerseys.com/">nfl jerseys wholesale</a> the NFC.Brees threw for 412 yards and five touchdowns to lead the surging Saints to their sixth win in a row, 42-20 over the free-falling Minnesota Vikings on Sunday."I'd definitely vote him MVP," Saints guard Carl Nicks said. "But I don't think what I say goes and I'm definitely biased, but he's not going to get <a href="http://www.niceworldjerseys.com/">cheap nfl jerseys</a> it. This is the year of the quarterback, him, Rodgers, (Tom) Brady. He might break the yardage record, and Rodgers might break the touchdowns record. What do you value more?"The answer is clear in <a href="http://www.niceworldjerseys.com/">custom nfl jerseys</a> the Big Easy.Brees completed 32 of 40 passes to help the Saints (11-3) overcome a slow and sloppy start to stay two games ahead of the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. New Orleans turned <a href="http://www.shopnflvip.com/">nfl jerseys wholesale</a> the ball over twice deep in its own territory in the first half, botched a surprise onside kick and had a40-yard touchdown pass called back because of a penalty.But Brees threw two touchdowns to Lance Moore and one each to Darren Sproles, John Gilmore and Jimmy Graham in just over three quarters of work to keep the Saints steamrolling toward another NFC South title.The 412 yards gives Brees 4,780 yards for the season, putting <a href="http://www.shopnflvip.com/">nfl jerseys</a> him 304 away from Marino's single-season record, set in 1984, with two games to play."I'm aware that we're close," Brees said of Marino's hallowed mark. "I just know if we keep doing what we're doing all of that stuff will take care of itself."Brees also already has set a career high with 37 touchdown passes."I'm as comfortable now in this offense as I've ever been <a href="http://www.shopnflvip.com/">cheap nfl jerseys</a> ," said Brees, who led the Saints to a Super Bowl win in 2009.The much-maligned Saints secondary held the Vikings to 102 passing yards and sacked rookie quarterback Christian Ponder four times.
Ponder completed 14 of 31 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns to Toby Gerhart, but most of that production came in the final six minutes of garbage time.
