Contentment Wall

On my way to work this morning, I had an epiphany. I am way too content with my life, and therefore I lack the motivation to do anything else. Look at it point by point and see if I’m crazy. I love my body so I’m not really that motivated to work out. Genetically, I am not set up to live until I’m 100 years old.

Yesterday, Nhien drove me, Celeste and Eva out to Chinatown to our favorite pho place for lunch.  We parked on the streets, just outside a paid parking lot.  You have to J-walk to get to the plaza where the restaurant is at.  So, we started to look both ways.  Eva spotted a police car cruising down the road. “Girls, cops are coming.  Don’t cross yet,” she warned us, but at this point Nhien...
