Dr. Ashley Crown isn’t among those who wear a crown of thorns lightly, and nor is he one of those who wear a crown of thorns heavily. In fact he doesn’t wear a crown of thorns at all but certainly sits on a perch of them. One would, in all one’s wisdom and experience, think this reason enough for him to be miserable, but amazingly, he is none-too-ashen-faced about it. Far from being harrowed like an overworked corporate slave, he in fact looks perfectly pretty and cheerful and so I asked him in all my naïveté how he managed staying sanguine when life seemed so thorny, to which he replied “The secret of happiness is straight. You just have to look for the gaps between the thorns!”
