Not for the first time, and probably not the last, I found myself - TopicsExpress



          

Not for the first time, and probably not the last, I found myself stuck in a ditch in the mountains, in the driving rain. I tried to back out, which, of course, made it all worse. I thought about walking to find cell service to call Triple A, because I did not want to pry my poor Daddy out of his easy-chair, but I knew that would take forever and then thought about calling my numerous, handy guy friends with tow-lines who live for hero-anointing moments like this. Then I thought, Well, hell, I cant get *more* stuck at this point. I yelled, Damn the torpedoes! and drove full-throttle straight into the deepest, swampiest part of the gully until I felt my tires get some purchase. Thus I got myself out, all by my lonesome. By going deeper in, to the worst of it. Im sure theres a parable in there somewhere, but Im off the clock.
