I wanna be swept off my feet, you know?
I want my children to have magical powers!
I am prepared for amazing things to happen.
-John Hawke’s character in Me and You and Everyone We Know
Totally ready for the fantastic.
Perhaps a flying horse. Or a magic wardrobe. Or someone playing "In Your Eyes" from a boom box outside my window. Ruby Slippers.
I can't explain the unfounded optimism that's been following me around since Custom's week. Certainly it is not justified by the goings-on in the world. Or by anything amazing happening to myself or my friends or family. I just...
... feel good.
Hey, it may be that there's a Phantom Tollbooth in my future. ;-)
