I'll admit a little something: If I go to one of those hotels where there's, like, a $50 omelet, I'm taking the silverware home with me. I'm not saying it's right. I just feel like it's an unspoken agreement where the mug and the silverware are just part of the deal.

Past middle age, some friends suggested that I should have my eyebags removed, the deepening creases on my face stretched.

And the final hindrance: the cost.
