[at-l] (old) Bryson Interview

This, to me, seems real important. 
Like Anna, I study those that complete their thrus, and those that don't,
barring injury or emergencies back home.

No energy expended on wishing things were otherwise. No drama of resistance.

Not a bad way to thru, or live a life for that matter.
