• Life without air.

    Human life without air does not exist. Human life in Florida without air-conditioning should not exist either. We are paying for an info-mercial bed purchased on credit. We have recently been reacquainted with the phenomenon known as car payments. Among this financial turmoil the air conditioning starts ominously blowing warm air. If people lived in Florida without air conditioning, shouldn’t I be able to survive a twenty minute car ride back and forth to work?

  • The cost of magic.

    Three tickets to the Magic Kingdom: $150.

    Beverages to replace fluids lost to sweat: $57
    Seeing your child play nice with her friend on a Disney Vacation: Priceless.
