Man, you're missing the best part. That pizza delivery window is the only time my kitchen actually gets cleaned. I start cooking, see the mess, panic, and scrub everything while waiting for the driver. The pizza is just a reward for finally dealing with the disaster zone.

Yeah, that line about the worn stair is perfect. It's the same with old tools. I found a hand plane in my grandpa's shed. The wood handle was dark and smooth in one spot, shiny from his grip. That's where his thumb rested for fifty years of work. You're not just holding a tool, you're touching the exact spot someone else did. It makes the past feel solid.
