Loved this to pieces. And to think, if you hadn't upvoted me out of nowhere, I would never have seen it.

We do have it good. Like freaking amazingly good. I'm writing this on a computer I didn't pay for, while watching La La Land with my teenage daughters, brought to me in HD, over iTunes, wirelessly, and playing on a 53" flat-screen TV in 1080p. Whatever that is.

The world is a ridiculously amazing place. I know I have it far, far better than almost anyone in the history of planet earth, and I'm trying desperately to remember that every minute. Just the fact that there's no one in the world that I know of that would kill me on sight is astonishing. And terrifically rare, historically.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, and for working hard for your well-earned money.
