And Just Like That . . .
A few night ago, I watched a rerun of Seinfeld (as I do many nights). This particular episode was the one where George decides to do the exact opposite of whatever his instincts tell him--he begins to initiate conversation with women, he's brutally honest at job interviews, he yells at some punks in a movie theater. As a result, everything begins to go great for George, and he ends up scoring a job with the Yankees.
Some days, I feel as though the universe is a bit like George in that episode. Everything is going in one direction, for better or worse, when BAM!--the whole thing gets flipped upside down. The universe begins ordering chicken salad on rye instead of tuna on white. Tea instead of coffee. The universe tells its mother it loves her instead of what it really thinks.
Today is one of those days. Why? Because Pluto is no longer a planet.
Good night, sweet prince.
