...But it's nice to take your foot off the gas once in a while. Now that I have my discharge orders in hand, my unit's letting me relax a little while I begin my outprocessing.
Sadly, Steve Prefontaine did give everything he had. I don't know if Sarge's comment was a reference to how he died, but I still remember when I heard about in class one day - we were all so stunned we couldn't speak. Even Ed Hartzell (kissyface will know who I mean).
No, not a reference to how he died. Just an observation that you can't keep your throttle firewalled all the time. That's an excellent recipe for burnout.
I think I've said too much already. A girl can't lay down all her cards at once. Good thing my deck goes higher than 52. I wish I were a guy so I could pee anywhere I wanted while standing up. That's real power. I'd like to meet the following: My great-great grandparents, the N. Oklahoma ones, not the Swiss gentry. My woebegone friendship with Adam G. The man who's going to be with me till we're retired to the porch swing sucking on glycerine tablets, and who still reads to me at night, while I rub his feet. My ambitions with commitment and discipline. The characters from old David Lee Roth videos. Hot carb on carb action. That fucker who keeps trying to take the bbq, in a dark alley, satan's minions, lilliputians, nigglers, pifflers, piddlers, snake-oil peddlers, cripples, do-gooders, truth-seekers, sweethearts, wandering minstrels, interlopers, robber barons, saints, sinners, people who snort and guffaw, holler and whoop, tender tender people with good hearts, and all my fat little babies. I like BUTTER! And Vitamin Z!

Only one life, 'twill soon be past,
Only what's done for Christ will last
