I had a pretty rough day a while ago — poor night's sleep, reached dead ends on projects, and the pup took more wrangling than usual. There was this event I was considering attending earlier in the week, scheduled for that night. But alas, the day knocked me on my behind and I didn't feel up to it.

I thought I'd start a well-warranted evening at home alone by watching Seinfeld from S1E1. Until the monologue encouraged otherwise:

Do you know what this is all about? Do you know why we're here? To be out. This is out. And out is one of the single most enjoyable experiences of life... Wherever you are in life, it's my feeling you gotta go.

Needless to say, I went out. A rejuvenating time was had. Even better is that feeling of coming home, because —

Once you're out, you wanna get back.
