Heart Of Aces

n. The awareness that although a certain experience may strike you as utterly unremarkable, it might be having a profound effect on other people nearby, who will remember every detail for the rest of their lives-- having inspired the birth of a phobia, a fetish, a lifelong relationship, or a lifelong career. In poker and blackjack, the ace card can be valued either low or high; it's up to the player to decide. Every day is an ace, which might end up being valuable or worthless, forgettable or unforgettable, depending on who's playing and what else they're holding in their hand.
