Boredom can be enlivening.

I like to get personal. Even with strangers. Once upon a time, I considered myself anti-social. Not any more. Because I'm curious about people. All kinds of people. People that I've never seen or met before. I've learned that there's a story behind everyone. Even the one that may sound like the most boring being in the world. Actually, to meet the most boring would be exciting. Just imagine. He/she would be a good cure for insomnia. He/she could bore anyone and everyone to sleep. I'd love to see him/her on a talk show. So I could see the host and entire audience fall asleep. Right on the air. That would be enlivening. --Jim Broede
