Jennifer was a star when she was young and now she’s a working stiff like everyone else, dreaming about what could have been. It’s not quite clear where Polzin’s story is going, and the ending caught me off-guard. It’s great:

Whenever Jennifer has a glass of wine or two (or three), she thinks about things she might do: she might just hike the Appalachian Trail, or backpack across Europe like some of her friends did in college, or she might go on a camelback desert safari. There’s nothing stopping me, she’ll say to her wine.
