for the Friday commute home

for Saturday night after striking out

for reading the newspaper

for driving down a country road at dusk

for remembering the joys and heartaches of childhood

for quiet contemplation of the world

for anger management and aggression dissolution

for toasting love with fine wine and exquisite food

for mixing liquor and beer

for lifting the spirits to the highest degree

....while relaxing on the deck as a cool breeze blows down the river

for realizing that even things well done can be made perfect

for finding power in the sad half-drunk moments
