In the Navy, You Can Sail the Seven Seas

The Navy called this evening.

Hello, may I speak to Stephanie please? This is she. How are you? Fine, thanks, how are you? May I ask who is calling? I'm fine thanks. This is...Navy recruitment...you filled out...

I don't remember filling out a damn thing. I mean, aside from the Academy. But I withdrew from that months ago.

I'm afraid I'm no longer interested. You're not interested at all? I'm afraid not. Oh, well... Talk to you later, goodbye. Goodbye.

I don't know why I said talk to you later. In my heart of hearts I know I will talk to them later. I can't escape what I once wanted.

But for the first time in my life, I turned them down without regret.
