Sometimes things aren't great, but good enough. Back in February of this year, a friend of mine came out to visit and while he was here he and I and another friend went to Denny's. I hadn't gone to Denny's in years, so there was something kind of nostalgic about being there. Back in my college days I would go to Denny's from time to time, and I have a few notable memories from that place. In particular, I think of an infamous hot chocolate drinking contest that was held there, but that's a story for another post. While talking about times gone by, I took out my phone and used the camera on it to take a picture of my two friends. When asked how good the camera was on my phone, I replied that it wasn't great but it got the job done and worked for most cases where I wasn't carrying my regular camera and needed to take a photo. It was good enough. From there the conversation pivoted to a discussion of the year ahead and we agreed that 2014 would be the year of "good enough." Not great, but good enough. From that point on, whenever I saw, heard, thought about something was not great but good enough, I would think to myself that "it's 2014."
