  — Authority:
  I’m an “escaper”—when things get stressful (the compounded, excessive kind of stressful) I do a Houdini. Sometimes it is literally, but most of the time it is imaginatively. I create a plan, then imbue that plan with bucket loads of hope, and ardently look forward to the fruition of said hope. However, when I ...
