Sentence: After many years in a job where he worked from home, the air quality in his surroundings was suffering from moldivation.

He knew his witty banter and intellectual view of the world, along with his open-minded tolerance of diverse cultures, shrewd economics, eco-minded spirit and peace-loving nature would make him a media darling and maybe, just maybe, he might end up on Celebrity Jeopardy or Dancing With The Stars. A boy can dream, can't he?
