I think the act of condensing months or years of work down to a couple hours of entertainment is pretty wild and extremely rewarding.
It was a long time in the making, my divorce. One day became less special than the next, and pretty soon, we ceased all conversation. It is a sad day when you have nothing left to say.
When the doors of opportunity swing open, we must make sure that we are not too drunk or too indifferent to walk through.
