Many things can be "of the Soldado" if you're living right. Daily Vitamin of the Soldado. Neighbor Kid's Graduation of the Soldado. Delta Silver Medallion of the Soldado. Those three things and one or two others.

Begging my therapist to tell me it's okay to throw away the four loose dowels I have in a drawer. She refuses. Cites professional code but suspect she wants the dowels herself.

Gotta give it up to whoever read this Yan Lianke book before me. They clearly hate it but are soldiering on.

Should have rolled the name generator one more time on Derek Jacobi. That's not a venerable actor of stage and screen, that's a kid who tried to make crawdads fight.
