twenty-eight years and a million words
Kenny had broken out in a rash yesterday morning. Mari took him to the clinic and came away with some cortisone cream that Kenny quite liked.
Quite liked.
I was sitting at my computer and thought, "Boy's awfully damn quiet!" This is what I found under the dining table.
At least he was trying to lather it on his leg, which had the worst of the rash.
One day you will take a fork in the road, and you're going to have to make a decision about which direction you want to go. If you go one way, you can be somebody. You will have to make compromises and you will have to turn your back on your friends. But you will be a member of the club and you will get promoted and get good assignments. Or you can go the other way and you can do something [...] for yourself. If you decide to do something, you may not get promoted and get good assignments and you certainly will not be a favorite of your superiors. But you won't have to compromise yourself. To be somebody or to do something. In life there is often a roll call. That's when you have to make a decision. To be or to do.
