The regular 9 to 5 is what some people want. And that's fine. They get their satisfaction in ways we may not -- (stereotypes coming).. a kid to play with, buddies at the bar, plunking a guitar, reading John MacDonald.

This is not necessarily even a lack of ambition -- we're all allowed to aspire to whatever lifestyle we think will suit us best.

You can't say one way is better without describing what better looks like -- and when we have different descriptions of that, the best thing to do is just tink your drinks together and keep your "How can he live like that?!" to yourself.
