Right, what do you do with a really smart soldier? Watch him very carefully (and despair if you happen to fall in love him).

Except -- hurrah -- even John can be saved by the love of a good man! I believe it completely and this story makes me just idiotically happy. It's just too lovely to read a John who, of course, couches the profound truths of his life in sports metaphors.

OK, and dear Rodney with his naked, naked face.

Just gorgeous.
