Irrational thoughts

How is this for irrational thinking? I was driving and saw a beige Nissan Murano parked on the side of the road near our destination. My heart leapt. It's Ken! He's here! This has all been a dream!

Later, a friend was making negative comments about Apple Computer. This friend has always made snide comments about Apple. But now comments about Apple somehow feel like comments about Ken. His criticisms of Apple hurt as if he was criticizing Ken. And Ken isn't here to defend himself.
