Dear World,

I think you are a wonderful place to be. If I didn’t have to work so much I might have been able to go with my family on a family-vacation this week, to explore you. Alas, I am growing up : Due to my condition as a workingwoman I am forced to, well, work. I work in an office, behind a big desk and a big computer. This means that I have very little time for going on hikes, bike riding, traveling in general, and enjoying you (… before Hummers and other ugly polluting parasites destroy what is left of you). My condition as a workingwoman sometimes makes me sad; being behind a desk all day is truly, very un-worldly. However, not all is lost: I plan to retire soon, and when I do I will go on many camping trips and soak in your star-filled sky.

Love,
MM.
