What do you like best about your life?
She contemplates, then takes a side-glance toward Dale, who is in the kitchen listening, as if to ask
for help. "I know!" Dale says coyly. "You do?" she answers with surprise. He won't
answer even with her urging. She concentrates. "I think it must be the Southwest
Airlines frequent flyer tickets," she says with a minimal laugh, then darts directly back to Dale.
"Now what were you going to say, smart ass?" "I think the answer is the ability to be you."
"Hum, that's his answer," she says with a slight defensiveness, yet digesting his comment.
"But I always did that." "I know. But a lot of people don't have the luxury of doing
that." A titter ensues between them and she sort of agrees with him, then turns and says,
"I still like my frequent flyer miles."
