Ductile Anchors

Ash Ketchum finally did what he said he would do.

It only took him 25 years.

In hindsight, he’s been striving for this my entire career. How does it feel to match, stride for stride, with a wandering hobo pet fight trainer? He gets to retire with a trophy and a menagerie of roided out pocket monsters. I get to continue working until the something figures out I need to be able to move my hands and fingers in order to work and there’s no fingerless gloves or master balls to save me from my fate.

I should watch that cartoon again. It really was a dope way to start my day before commuting to college and, later, to teach.
