After a long day of hitting rocks with big hammers in the sun, it turns out that a hot shower and a cold beer equal precisely everything I desire in the world. Both at the same time? Unmitigated bliss. Sitting on the porch afterwards, with a nice breeze and clean clothes that don't have any glochids in them, with the rest of the beer and a dinner date with two lovely ladies pending? With great music in the background? And half an avocado to eat? And muscles already starting to feel sore? And the rest of my life before me? Well, let's just suffice it to say that things are good.
