I wouldn’t mind an office this size. (Disclosure: for the past twenty years, my office has been one corner of a twelve-foot-by-ten-foot living room.) But a whoie house this size? No thank you.
I mean, do I love Peter? Yes. Do I love him enough to live in this size of a space with him?

…From Chuck’s post, the paragraph that cuts to the core of this issue for me::
Austerity sounds virtuous. And for some people, it is the thing that motivates them, it is a part of who they are. For the rest of us, not so much. Fad diets often ask you to sacrifice things to which you’ve grown accustomed — and often things your body actually needs — under the auspices of getting healthy. I WILL CLEANSE MY BODY WITH JUICE AND SPROUTED GRAIN you think, and then someone walks by you eating a hamburger and some precious thing inside you snaps and next thing you know you’re on the city bus killing and eating people.
