Thank god Don is still in high school so I don’t have to worry about him getting drafted until after graduation and maybe by then the war will be over and all our soldiers will be home and marrying their girlfriends and moving into gingerbread houses and having kids and growing old together and dying in each other’s arms and being buried in the same cherry-wood casket and more than anything I want this for Phil and Nancy and I promise to write Phil everyday because some guys in Vietnam get lost in their minds and believe jungles and killing are the real world and forget what it’s like back home and I don’t want that to ever happen to him so I’m going to write about Boss Radio’s Top 40 and The Fugitive tracking the onearmed man. ...
