They say it’s your last chance.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Is it a worry?
Or comfort?
It’s a time to formulate, knowing you haven’t lost anything yet.
It’s a moment of peace brought by the knowledge that soon it will end.
There’s no need to worry either way.
Whatever your viewpoint, whatever your mindset,
What you hope to win or what you need to lose,
You still have the opportunity to succeed.
There’s still an open road leading to your tranquility.
The clock is still ticking. The final bell has not yet rung.
You have time.
So breathe deep. Relax.
Go through your plan. Plot your next move.
Line up your shot.
Smile.
And enjoy your one last chance.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
