"it's kind of like this," Decker said:"you wake up in the middle of the night and u are dyng for a glass of milk. so you stumble out of bed, stud your toe in the darkness, scream with pain, and limp your way to the refrigerator. you open in up and the light is brilliant. u're saved. then u fold back the paper container, open up the milk, take a deep breath, and put it to ur lips. only--yhrch!-- the milk is spoiled. sure u;re bummed. u fold the thing closed and put itback in the fridge. it's dark again. but as ure making ur way back to ur lonely old bed, u think to urself, wait a min, maybe tt milk wasnt so bad. n i am still thirsty? so u do an aboutface n go back to the fridge. the light warms u up again. u take a sip n, yup, it's still spoiled. tt, to me, is the fitting metaphor for most every relationship i've ever been in. "
