"Dear Dr. Science, What will happen if I play my cards wrong?" Mitch Moody, Johnson City, TN
"You’ll end up in a cubby at some corporation, sneaking off to surf eBay as often as you can get away with it, and counting the days to retirement, or when you’re finally vested in stock options. Either way, you’re measuring you life out in coffee spoons, as TS Eliot put it, and just counting the minutes until they tell you this new experimental mix of chemo and radiation might buy you another two weeks, and you become horrified by the realization that all along you thought this was some sort of rehearsal for the real thing, and that you hadn’t actually been paying attention, or emotionally present for you own life, because you thought circumstances didn’t warrant that yet, that this wasn’t the right time, but that time was just around the corner until you realize that yes, you blew it, indeed you played your cards all wrong." www.drscience.com
