My grandfather worried that he'd fished me out when i was little. Maybe I'd never fish again. Wrong.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I wish I could still cast and operate a rod and reel. Pole fishing just doesn't interest me.

Only if you’re really bad at it.

When people become too emotionally dramatic, I have to shut down my empathy for my own sanity.

Doris Day and Rock Hudson in Send Me No Flowers (1964) - if this was a scene in any of today's movies the YouTube Chads would have a meltdown and claim it's woke unlike those movies from 60 years ago.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Rock Hudson played a very convincing heterosexual.

My personality in the workfield is much like Karev's from Gray's.

More of a one-time hobby.
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
