I love that phrase you used: “to get what I want and want what I’ve got” — never heard it put that way.
“Fuck” is a GREAT WORD. No matter how much my parents frown when I use it.
Also, if you’re interested in running the NYC marathon…wanna train with me? Well, I was just going to start with maybe trying to do a HALF MARATHON — interested??

@ Rebecca
Hell no! Running a marathon is something I want to do before I DIE. I think I have some time before I have to put down the twinkies, no?
Unless you know something I don’t know, Doc.
