behind door number 1

Dear Randleski,

In my professional opinion, human ears an incapable of hearing the reverberation of the quacking of a duck simply because most ducks are found in open areas, namely their habitat of ponds and/or traipsing across random streets when you’re late for work, areas which are typically inconvenient for hearing sound reflections. My advice to you, put a duck in a gymnasium or concert hall, make it quack, and prove the myth wrong for yourself…they do in fact have an echo…and I believe if you play it backwards it’ll tell you to put babies on spikes like crazy Eddie, but don’t listen to him.

As for the more difficult question, isn’t happiness relative to the individual moment? Right now, I’d be divinely happy with Steak n’ Shake, as we discussed earlier. But if you’d prefer a more ultimate happiness scenario, then I’d be “the happiest woman in the world” if I had the kind of lifestyle which allowed me the opportunity to be a perpetual student, travel across the globe at the drop of a hat, go to jazz clubs every Saturday night, watch indie films every Friday night, spend the fall in the country, hiking around Cumberland Falls, and the summers sailing to new destinations….none of which are mutually exclusive. I could survive without one or the other. But in all honesty, I think, well, hope at least, that’d I’d be happiest living a lifestyle conducive to accomplishment. I don’t know what exactly it is I plan on doing, and I pray it’s not simply one thing, but as long as I can reach some level of accomplishment that not only self serves my need for achievement, but also improves the condition of society on some small level…whether by my words, or physical actions, I’d be “the happiest woman in the world.”

Free-flowing Dr. Pepper for the masses wouldn’t hurt either…I’m just saying, it makes the world taste better!

Indeed it is beautiful...especially the town where I live. Very little commercialism and an excess of rice paddies and mountains. Makes for fun living.
