Welcome to Morning Open Thread, a daily post with a MOTley crew of hosts who chose the topic for the day's posting. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
The diarist gets to sleep in if she wants to, and she can show up long after the post published. That is a feature, not a bug. Other than that, site rulz rule.

As the son and grandson of fish fryers in coastal Massachusetts, Dan Portelance dreamed of a life elsewhere as a famous chef. Just when his goal was within reach, his restaurant failed, leaving him penniless and struggling to find purpose. This is the story of how Dan realized his true passion and built a new life from the ashes of potential defeat.
Breakwater Studios also made the film “The Ox,” featured in Morning Open Thread on November 16, 2013.
