Still Crazy after all these years

I'm a hopeless optimist. I recognize the fault and you would think that, after all this time, I would have gotten over it.

But, I haven't. Which is why this story bothers me. These two have millions of dollars. And they are quibbling over over the price of an appearance? I understand that this is how they now make their money, and they need to protect the value of making personal appearances. I do understand that.

But, I don't like it. I think its greedy. I hope its not true.

And the fact that I'm willing to BELIEVE its not true reiterates the idea of perpetual optimism.
