“It did occur to him that perhaps he鈥檇 gone to the wrong Academy 鈥� the guys in the Space Fleet always had more interesting stories to tell at the spaceport bars.

"Everything turned out fine." My mom probably thinks she was right and I'm not capable of making a trip like this on my own without someone to guide me and keep me safe.

And I'm not so dense that I don't know that most people are younger than thirty-two when they achieve it.
I've lagged behind everyone my whole life, so why would my adulthood be any different?”
