    God, I love this. That ending -- the feeling of contentment that comes after realizing most of life's crushing pressures were self-imposed.... Brilliant.

    Steve, Thanks for making such a funny & thought provoking work of art. It's spoken to me at a very personal level. As a middle aged man myself I can easily see myself in your protagonists' shoes. "In the Fall" is one of those rare things I've come across that give me pause about my own pangs of regrets and sadness. Thanks again!
