I've tried to instill my wife with the knowledge that she gets 10 minutes per day of my absolutely positively undivided attention and to use it wisely. But does she? No. And yes, 10 minutes of my undivided attention is about 9 minutes more than I give anybody else in the world...unless its a talk about football, porn, music, video games or beer (AKA "My Hobbies").

And when the fear rises up in my belly, I use it. Fear is powerful, because it’s been there for billions of years. And it is good. And I use it. And I ride it; I ride it like a skeleton horse through the gates of hell.”
