First, my sources are telling me you’re deserving of a happy birthday, Bob. I hope you have a chance to treat yourself.

Next, I loved the premise of your story and even stopped half-way through to research the “Take the other to lunch” concept. I also enjoyed the dancing metaphor you employed.

Finally, I’m a month late to accept your question challenge, and yet I’m curious what are 2-3 things that gives you hope?

Wonderful words Bob. Keep hoping. "Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul. And sings the song without the words and never stops at all." E. Dickenson
