Back when I was a sarariman my happy place was a beach on the island of Vanuatu. My wife, you see, was training to be a midwife... and in order to get all the births she would need for her license, she would likely need to head off to a 3rd world country and deliver babies for six to eight weeks.

So there I would sit, drawing TV layouts for Hooters restaurants, dreaming of the six to eight weeks I would spend sitting on a beach, drinking cheap kava and typing on a laptop that hadn't seen the Internet in weeks.

Unfortunately she was so good at getting births that she got them all out of the way before she even left school.

I just watched Les Miserables last night. I could nuke France right now.
