Or are the gods playing a cruel joke on us?

    As soon as I accepted mediocrity in my life I found that theater seats no longer feel both greasy and itchy.

    I am so much more relaxed, now that everything is OK, than I was when it wasn't.

    Why do we choose to be mediocre?


    I just find it is a much easier standard to live up to.

    It's more painful when I still fall short though.  That's the downside.

    I'm aiming for "Wrong End of the Bell Curve".  I'll probably fall short of that one, too.
