The Line

Fantasy: Coming off the bench and scoring the winning goal for Manchester United on the last day of the season.
Dream: Coming off the bench and scoring the winning goal for Phoenix Park FC on the last Sunday in March.

Fantasy: Closing for the Yankees.
Dream: Bleacher seats for Opening Day at the Stadium.

Fantasy: Twin sisters - one Italian, one Swedish - wild, epic, effortless and fulfilling, seven nights a week.
Dream: A good woman who looks well in her underpants, breakfast and dinner.

Fantasy: Nobel-prize winning recluse making grand withering statements from a castle in the Pyrénées.
Dream: Writing one good book without becoming a wanker.

A fantasy does not survive contact with reality. A well-chosen dream is a lasting joy.
