Fortune

I just opened my fortune cookie from dinner. It read "You are a lover of words, someday you should write a book." While I don't hold much interest in writing a book, I do spend a good part of my free time writing on this blog and on screenplays. So, the fortune felt fairly accurate to me. However, given the fact that dinner was eaten at the office and I didn't get to see Amelia tonight, it also felt like a mean spirited slap in the face. It would be like telling someone who is fasting that they would just LOVE the cheesecake you are eating. So, thank you very little fortune cookie...unless, of course, I hit the lottery using your numbers. Then, I could write lots of things - blogs, movies, books, big fat checks, etc.
