Strange, how I never take the time to reflect on my tendency toward taking chances… until I'm actually taking them. And what a time to get philosophical, while I'm hanging from the underside of a rising elevator with no idea how I'm going to get down once I'm up. One problem at a time… that's my motto.

I think I need to change my motto.

Jack has a chance to get to know his mother. I hope he takes it. I'd go through all this and ten times worse for a chance to spend five more minutes with my mother.
