I keep thinking I should learn Pāli.
You know, I would find it hard to not be bloody-minded and push the boundaries of Piaf the Practical's practicality -- E.g. What if all boats available were rickety? And, the water body in between is filled with sharp rocks and perilous? And, neither of the islands has a landing strip for a helicopter? And, I don't know how to swim and upper body strength sucks? Etc.
Blondie did say -- without any irony -- that tennis is one of the things she looks forward to in life. But, now she has tennis elbow (I forgot to ask her to quantify its impact on her will to live).
(I thought you'd appreciate that little factoid.)
