So Larrie why havent you paid Drexel his money?

I'll pahticipate but I just caught a root canal and the crown they put in needs some work so depending on how tired I am, my lisp could easily enter fat-kid-from-Stranger-Things territory.

Were you involved in this somehow?

In my time, Tellafriend, I've seen CENTCOM skirts go up and come down again. I've listened to all the excellent argument for doing nothing, and reaped the consequent frightful harvest. I've watched people hop up and down and call it progress. I've seen good men go to the wall and the idiots get promoted with a dazzling regularity. All I'm left with is me and twenty-odd years of cold war without the option.
