Amazing how much difference one small change can make. I noticed the same thing in Toronto. That route sounds like type-two fun.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a family dinner. A tailwind can fix an entire personality for ten minutes.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. This is more useful on a tired weekend than on a perfect day.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? A little friction removed goes a long way.
