The Power of If
Kiss my wife on top of the Eiffel Tower.
It was a picture perfect day in Paris. After climbing 669 steps to the second floor, we hitched a very scary elevator ride to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Then, with France as my witness, I kissed my wife. Life goal #102? Check!
And it all started with if .
Ill explain, but first, lets have a little fun. How was that goal accomplished? Well, that depends on how you look at it. You could simply say that I puckered my lips, took an approach path from the left, closed my eyes at the last second, and voila kiss in France, not to be confused with a French kiss.
Thats how it happened, but theres more to it than that. That simple kiss was the result of a rather complex itinerary. We flew out of Dulles International Airport on an Airbus A320, made it through French customs, took the regional RER train to Paris, hailed a taxi whose driver enjoyed saying mademoiselle a little too much for my taste, and got walking directions from a French lady with a dog in her purse. Not even kidding! Classic as a croissant! But that too is just a fraction of the story.
You could argue that our Eiffel Tower kiss originated the moment I set life goal #102. And thats partially true. You wont accomplish 100 percent of the goals you dont set. But the true origin of our kiss traces all the way back to the 1889 Worlds Fair in Paris when more than a hundred artists submitted plans to design the centerpiece, the masterpiece of the Exposition Universelle.
