I used to be at least true-hearted, tried to... do the right thing and so forth. And now I realized I am completely different than the guy that my wife thought she was marrying, the guy that I thought I was. And I had to keep putting that ghost in the closet and that he was always there coming out of the shadows, taunting me, asking me, do you like this version of yourself?

And the honest answer was not very much. It was a trade, but I felt like I was trading part of my soul and I didn't like it.

they have to be perfect and so i went through and with an eagle eye everything that looked even remotely suspicious because you're printing these off by the hundreds and so it's okay but then you're exactly right what do you do with the bills that don't pass muster And it happened that my in-laws, my wife's parents, had a wood-burning stove.

And I thought, great, I'll just take them over there because I didn't want to go out in the woods, have somebody go through the ashes and say this was a bunch of money or something.

So I went over to my parents-in-law's home, shoved these all in their wood-burning stove, lit a match, made sure that the fire was going. and closed the little door. But I didn't understand because I'd never had a wood-burning stove. There's little flues and things that you have to open up to let the oxygen come in. So soon, the fire basically went out and they just smoldered.

Yeah. But anyway, that was one of the things later on in the book that led to the demise of my little scheme is when my in-laws came home and they thought, what's that smell? It's the middle of the summer. Who would be messing around with our wood-burning stove? And they opened it up and thought, my God, there's money in here.

Anyway, it was all charred beyond being usable, but they couldn't imagine what was going on.
