Adventurous.

Whenever times get tough, I just remind myself that one time, not so long ago, a monkey in a winter jacket escaped his crazy-lady owner and got loose in an IKEA, and it was probably the most important day of his life. Today, I booked a trip to Jamaica. I have gone an entire year without a vacation (save for a week off last year, when I had to get my life in order after a quasi-divorce), and for a brief moment this morning, I felt the same joy of that adventurous little primate stepping foot, for the first time, through the automatic doors of the world's largest cheap furniture chain.
