I Dub Thee 'Little Boy Blue'

Of all the things the Army will not let me to tell you, let me tell you, I will dig for the substance and rename the surface. Like the clink of a treasure hunter's shovel upon metal at the bottom of his hole in the sand, so might my fingers connect with the keys to send waves of mystery resonating through and beyond my grasp.... We are perpetually waiting on "the word." The Boss has plans for our future and we are all poised for action.

In this climate, Recess is not just outdoor fun and games but a lesson in the cruelty of the elements and the consequent necessity of hydration. Little Boy Blue and his hungry squad prepare for battle with an invocation of holy testosterone and heavy drinking: the elixir of life... H2O. This country drinks your sweat to wash down the urban rubble served for dinner. We are all seated at the table in anticipation....
