The thing you have to understand about fighter pilots is they never quite grow past the stage of little boys buzzing past girls on their bicycles,

Our boys have been knocking on the door the past few years. Hopefully, this is the year.

Obviously (two weekends ago), with the in-state boys (Colorado State) coming down here, we weren't thinking anywhere past Sept. 3,

Two questions form the foundation of all novels: "What if?" and "What next?" (A third question, "What now?", is one the author asks himself every 10 minutes or so; but it's more a cry than a question.) Every novel begins with the speculative question, What if "X" happened? That's how you start.

The extraneous duties, in a sense, were the job.

Anyone can deceive us .... for a time.
