I'm a whole album kinda guy, and she listens to her iPod on shuffle.

Obviously such a conclusion is an oversimplification whose only purpose is illustrate how it might be difficult to relate. I'm taking in the big picture as best I can, while she's defining the patterns of life in much smaller units.

Let's return to the metaphor. If your favorite Yes record has a song on it that you don't care for, you can do one of a few things:

• Learn to appreciate the interesting parts of that song.
• Recognize that the song is simply part of a greater whole that you enjoy and deal with it.
• Decide that the song ruins the album for you and throw it into the garbage.

It seems simple enough when you translate the more convoluted parts of life into something more manageable. I've made my decision (and made it easily): I'll take the good with the bad. I want to hear the whole record.
