I said something recently about "secrets and mysteries" to somebody at work. When asked "Is there a difference?", I gleefully replied: "Most certainly! Mysteries are wonders for you to ponder and share with everyone. A secret is a burden that must be carried alone." Man, I'd been waiting for awhile to whip that one out--in fact, I may have even subconsciously baited the dialogue--I'm really not sure. Anyways, she obviously was a little taken aback by the admittedly unusual response. I was quite pleased with myself.

And if you recall where that line comes from(more or less, I probably altered it a little), you are way cool. Oh what the hell, you are way cool anyways.
