I took a long-ish walk along a shore-hugging road, and watched someone out sailing. What a wonderful feeling of vicarious freedom! This was also the perfect excuse to use up the last James Bond movie title. It was a pretty silly exercise, and I promise not to raise the spectre of its return in the future. I wish you...

Granted, that is a rather extreme example, but you see what I mean? Smiling, even if I don’t feel like it, can make me feel better. Laughter is good medicine.
