Tired. Bored. Lucky.

Yesterday we considered the state of being "Fired up" and "Ready to go" (Pres. Obama anecdote).

Fired up and ready to go is all very well in a presidential campaign,
But seriously, have you ever thought about the fact that -- in Life, most days will be boring.

If you're lucky.

Teen-agers -- and some other people, too -- protest emphatically if they are forced to be "bored" -- but think about it. Most events that qualify as "excitement" are interesting in a story, movie, or TV show, but -- a large pain in the neck, if you have to endure them in real life.

Most days, in Life, will be boring -- if you're lucky.

And a companion observation: people say to me, when they are busy working, "I'm tired."

And then when they are finished with their work and they have no tasks left, they say, "I'm bored."

"I'm tired."
"I'm bored."

(It's like dealing with teen-agers.
And -- maybe it simply goes on into adulthood, same thing.)
