The holidays are like that, aren't they? You suddenly remember a lot of little things that you thought you forgot... details that doesn't really matter on a day to day basis. Makes you see things in a different light.

[johnnygarland]

Yeah. It's kind of weird, how many things I've just stopped thinking about...even last holiday season, I wasn't really thinking about this. They're still there, though.

[yankeedoodledr]

Being away from home tends to have that effect.

[johnnygarland]

...No, I'd say...I'm closer to home than I was before.

--Oh! You said the war was over...did you get to go home before they brought you back?

[yankeedoodledr]

...no. I was just about to ship out.

[johnnygarland]

oh...

...the scientists have a really horrible sense of timing.

[yankeedoodledr]

It's the way life works, buddy. You get used to it, eventually.

[johnnygarland]

...I know. I mean, ...I know life isn't fair, and people can be horrible, I just...like to hope for the best, anyways. Maybe I'm too optimistic.

[yankeedoodledr]

Heh, I used to be the same way. Still am, at times.

Hold on to that, Johnny. It's a life saver.
