I was pleased, yesterday, to open my mailbox and find that the current issue of “National Psychographic” had arrived.  The obligatory insert this month contained a topographic map of Walter Mitty’s subconscious complete with reality interface.  I’ll be using that baby to plan my next trip.

The accompanying article had something for everyone.  Whether you picture yourself as a giant oscillating fan, distributing spores throughout the universe, or a multi-talented world-saving Venetian blind, various practice techniques were shared and discussed by experts.

Just this morning I spent several fulfilling moments imagining myself to be the casting director for the Fruit of the Loom® commercials.  It was great fun scouring the crowd for the person with just that right “apple” quality; the individual I felt could best pull off the whole “stem” thing.

But the most fun?  Looking Brad Pitt square in the eye and declaring,

“I’m sorry, we’re looking for someone just a little, um…grapier.”
