Nice modernization of the Bard!

I enjoy reading you because your life is so different from mine. I don't believe it is because we're different people. In 1986 I met a woman who I felt was the last person I would ever marry. 38 years later and there's no way for me to rationalize why we're together. All I know is that every day I never want to be anywhere else but near her. So I feel bad criticizing you sometimes about your views because I really have NO IDEA why we end up with the lives we do. I suspect if I didn't meet her I would be living a life similar to yours.

I mention that because though I haven't thought about passion for 38 years (being in a continual state of underserved contentment) it is something I wrestle with daily.

Passion gets me to start a story. It's seldom there when I need to finish it (which some readers notice to the point of complaining). I expect that's a problem for you. But maybe not. So thought I'd ask.
