The good news is that even though there are a lot of temptations we can usually get past them.

The bad news is that there are some we can't resist.

The good news is that they lead to gratification.

The bad news is that sometimes gratification isn't the only thing you need.

The good news is that gratification is certainly a good place to start.

(hi, Denny, I've missed you sweetie!)

The bad news is trying to achieve gratification long distance isn't always easy.

The good news is that taking a short flight could fix that.

The bad news is that some of us need long flights to unite.

The good news is that a long flight could let you rest before the reunion.

The bad news is that a long flight might make you nervous.

The good news is that a little nervousness is natural.

The bad news is that the nervousness might keep you from enjoying the inflight meal (lol).

The good news is that flights end!

The bad news is some don't end where you expect. :(

The good news is that some involve meeting someone new.
