There are certain times in my life when it becomes all too clear that I really have it good. This isn't a story that will make you go aww, but it still seemed so clear the time that it happened that I thought it worth mentioning.
I was on my way to school and I was listening to a Ted Talk using an app on my phone, while my phone was plugged into the audio jack that I installed in my car about 2 years ago. If you don't know what Ted talks are, you really should get acquainted with them. They are often these really inspiring talks given by really impressive people on an array of topics. The that I happened to be listening to was called, "Don't Regret Regret." Really good.
Anyway, I excited my car while still listening to the talk on my way to my office and it just dawned on me how good I have it.
I just can't believe how fortunate we are. Amy has a great job, and I have great opportunities ahead of me. We have this amazing technology available at such a cheap price, and I can ponder esoteric things like regretting regret without worrying about my health, finances, or living situation. It may be a down time, generally speaking, in the US economy, but neither Amy nor I have any concerns about our future prospects. I have a paid off car that has never given me problems.
We just have it so good. That's all I wanted to say.

You excited your car? How did you do it?! Did you tell it that it just one a million dollars?!

Yep, he must have told it that it just "one" a million dollars. Cars are dumb and they don't differentiate between homonyms.
Ewe no, their our people out their who sometimes make mistakes two in there haste to point out grammatical mistakes and make a joke.

Silvs--Caitlin was in tears with how tickled she was about how dumb her comment was. Then, when I pointed out that she put "one" in her comment, we were both pretty much rolling on the ground.
Twas really funny.
(from my phone at the byu game) I thought the "one" was on purpose. Would've made it more clever but instead it's just awesome.

Chris, I listened to that TED talk too, well, most of it. I regret not listening to the rest.
