and salted pretzels. Walking up to the starting
line, I ...

My eyelids drooped as I poured yet another cup of
coffee, so that I might stay awake long enough to
study the last thousand pages or so in my
notebook. Maybe it was just too much caffeine, but

Wolff Jack shows that he is a creature of outside
influence. Some examples of this are that he

Censorship In Video Games The first point is on
the ESRB 1. (Electronic Sanction Rating Bureau) At
fist glance it would appear that the ESRB is the
main problem. or solution to some, in video game

putting Mature or 18 + ratings on games. These
stand as warnings, like in a movie theater, but
not enforced. This can occasionally deter sales,
and for some gamers with strict parents this may
cause them to not play the game at all... The ESRB

Back And Forth Pine Trees

As a child, on any hot, sunny summer day there was
always a good chance that my family and I would be
going swimming. Going to our cousins? house to
swim in their pond were exciting times. We parked
in their driveway and walked through the very tall
pine trees that went up as far as the eye could
see and as far down. The trees seemed like an
entrance into another world. If I looked up, I
barely saw the tips of the trees swaying back and
forth by a light breeze. I faintly smelled the

Laughing and Crying The bridge between laughing
and crying is not long. During submarine
deployments, it is customary to tell sea stories
on those long boring mid-watches. During one
particular mid-watch I told an amazing story that
happened to me ten years earlier while stationed
on my last submarine. This story shouldn t be told
when your boss is part of the group because there
