In the grand scheme of things, there’s basically never been a better time to be alive in human history than right now (unless you were a straight, white, Christian man, in which case the 1950s were probably pretty swell). Most of the problems that have plagued humanity for eons have been more or less solved: I’ve got glasses for my shitty eyes, grocery stores full of food to make up for my non-existent hunting skills, water piped in to my living space because I have
I was out walking Sophie when we came near a Great Dane with her teenage owner. I made sure to ask if the Dane would be ok if Sophie and I walked by and she said “Sure!” As we passed the Great Huge Ginormous Dane growled and lunged at Sophie. Talk about an adrenaline rush!

Will, OY, I love this one , especially the “Sandy” Bullock reference! This posit of yours hits the mark and I must say that in Yiddish, that shot of Adrenalin is known as a “zetz” ! Please keep writing…this will be a bestseller collection! C

For those of us of a certain age, adrenaline rushes are mostly a memory (as are the other types of rushes). Probably a good thing given the potential consequences.

or the little shot of adrenaline everyone receives each Tuesday when a new "What's in Will's Dumb Brain" drops 🚨
Priceless artifacts😂
I think we both know where i stand on adrenaline. Same as my stance on Bonnie Bedelia. Unhealthy obsession.
