en route to my grandma's funeral i sat next to a fabulous spirit. i asked for aisle but ended up getting a middle seat and the funny thing is that she had just said to the guy on the end, maybe we'll be lucky and the seat will stay open the whole trip. then i arrived. i forget how we got to talking about happiness but i remember her saying - I could go today...meaning she was happy with the life she's lived and lives and doesn't need an ounce more if it's not meant to be.
so i asked her, what's the secret sauce?
she laughed.
and then she said, after some thought...
"I want what I have."
and...
"surround yourself with quality people."
what's a quality person? i asked. "well, it's different for everyone but you need to figure out what your definition of quality is and then surround yourself with it."
i really felt so lucky to sit beside her, it was like one of my deluxe cabbie encounters. philosphy is everywhere if you just take the time to look.

Well, you are a deluxe quality person yourself, and Dn has more than proven himself to be an A#1 top-notch dude, so you are two-for-two already without even leaving the gate. the rest is gravy...

The secret sauce. You are HILARIOUS and I love the characters you run into.
