During House last night, a commercial came on. For Lotto Super 7.

bcholmes That reminds me. I have a lottery ticket I haven't checked.
the_siobhan Oh?
bcholmes Yeah. If I don't check it for a few days more, I can keep fantasizing that I won the really big jackpot.
the_siobhan If you're talking about the $30 million dollar jackpot, nobody won it.
[Pause]
bcholmes I think maybe you weren't really listening to me just now.

Another friend brought this topic up. She said that she views herself (and me) as mountain climbers. We have reached a summit and now must climb down. And she suggested that we are not likely to be comfortable in the valley for long and will be looking for another mountain after a bit. I had been complaining of a pernicious malaise and feeling of being adrift, without overall purpose.
