Jump! Jump! The world commands. Will you or won’t you? That’s the question. Now all energy’s poured into this ice-filled glass. Let’s solve for family, shall we? Turn up that Leonard Cohen song and sip your scotch. Every year brings with it struggle, a fast conveyor belt of shit—inflation, depreciation, leaning towers of receipts, a clothesline where you air your dirty laundry for you have no working dryer, random children race through your condo. What keen observations about flight can you offer tonight?
