HMS Student Council will be serving First Responders hamburgers, hotdogs, sides and drinks. First Responders may park in the gym parking lot and enter through the cafeteria. ***** We are now on a fullscale Austin Haley career passing watch.

With his 254 yards on Friday night, he now needs just 245 to pass Rick Hanning and move into 4th all-time in Howe history. Five more touchdown passes would also move him past Hanning into third all-time in that category.

For those wondering, Chase Fountain ranks first in passing yards with 3,749 and Jay Skipworth is first in touchdown passes with 39. Haley, a junior, could own them all when he’s done. ***** You’re about to find out why your Grandmother canned food.

Joe Shephard was hired by the City of Howe back in November 2009 and has served as city administrator since. He decided earlier in the summer that he would be retiring this fall and that time has now ap-

proached for him to get on his Harley and ride off into the sunset.

On Friday, August 20, the City of Howe staff threw a retirement party for him at Sum-

day night with new turf, new tunnel, and new offensive philosophy of letting the ball fly out of 3-year starting quarterback Austin Haley’s right hand.

Howe, coming off its first ever 0-10 season, looked light years ahead of where they were a year ago in the opening game at Callisburg. In the end, Callisburg took the 35 -21 win, but the Bulldogs had a wellexecuted game plan on both sides of the ball, played virtually penalty free, and showed their home crowd that the Howe Bulldogs appear to be a team to be reckoned

Howe quarterback Austin Haley threw for 254 yards and a touchdown in Howe’s 35-21 loss to Callisburg. It’s the most passing yards for any Bulldogs quarterback in a season opener.

tax rate for sixth straight year On Tuesday morning, the Grayson County Commissioners lowered the tax rate on a unanimous vote.

The tax rate has been lowered for the sixthstraight year and this year’s rate will go from $0.3767 per $100 valuation to $0.3390.

The growth in the county has allowed the commissioners to be able to lower the

rate while still maintaining the same level of project services and personnel management or even beyond previous years.

One case in point is the addition a position in planning and development and three fulltime employees in the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office.

"Every one of those (new positions) is directly related to our

Bandsman of the week Howe Drum Major Chloe Scoggins is our features Bandsman of the Week.

When did you start with the band program?

I started band when I was in the sixth grade, and I decided I wanted to be a flute player.

When did you think band is something you’d be a part of all through your school days?

a

My sixth grade year, I was kind of iffy about doing band. But then I realized, I’m not an artistic kid. I can’t draw. So, I decided to just give it a shot. I was debating between percussion or being a flute player, but I really liked playing the flute and I really enjoyed Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Liss being in the class and ever since then I knew this was something I wanted to continue.

What is the process to become drum major?

You have to go through an application process almost like you’re applying for a job. You have to write an essay and you have to get two or three teacher recommendations. And then you go through an interview process.

They’ll ask you 10 or so questions and you have to answer them just like you’re applying for a job. You dress for the occasion.

Then they decide whoever has the best interview.

What was the experience like going to state two years ago?

That feeling was amazing. I’ll never forget just standing in the Alamadome, especially not even how a marcher would feel, just as a drum major—even though I was an assistant drum major. Just having that honor of being on a podium conducting in the Alamodome with our band. It was amazing and I really hope that’s

where we go this year.

What are your responsibilities as the drum major of the Pride of Howe?

To make sure everything is organized where kids have what they need. If they need something, I want to be that person they can always go to. Especially the freshmen, because I know whenever I was a freshman, it was hard to go up to an older kid and ask them something. I have to make everything is going smoothly. I have to rehearse all the time with my conducting to make sure I’m not messing up.

What’s the outlook for this year?

Very good. We go outside every day during our band period, which is only 45 minutes, and we have our hard days and good days and today was kind of a hard day. You have to get people to settle in and focus, but once you get that the band just comes together, and we get so much accomplished. I really think that we have really high standards this year and we can be just how we were my sophomore year, but better.

mit Gardens which included a cake and punch with a Harley Davidson theme.

Former Howe Mayor and current City Administrator Jeff Stanley gave a warm speech about their history and personal relationship.

Shephard then gave a speech which was mostly about his employees and how much he appreciated them.

Among those in attendance was Howe Mayor Bill French, all of the department heads and employees as well as a few community members, former city employees, and city council members.

Joy Stevens and Kerri Cheatham were responsible for the decorations.

When Shephard came to Howe, the city was having serious discussions with what to do finan-

cially as nearly all of the accounts for the city were dry. It took several years, but Shephard and thenMayor Jeff Stanley helped save the city’s credit rating and rebuilt the financial resources of the city by reductions in spending.

Shephard was born in Heidelberg, Germany where his father was serving in the Army. As a son in a military family, he traveled during his youth and graduated high school in Lawton, Oklahoma.

His introduction into municipality work was as a policeman in Wichita Falls, Texas. Before coming to Howe, he was the City Manager for the City of Seymour, Texas after serving a year as police chief for the city.

Shephard and his wife Sandra both graduated from Midwestern State University, and he completed the Certified Public Management program at Texas Tech University. Their son Matthew graduated from Howe High School in 2014.

Welcome to 1938: First, they came for the unvaccinated Your papers, please

By Wayne Allyn Root, WND This is the most important commentary I've ever written.

It's time for alarm bells. It's time for me to play the part of Paul Revere: "The communist tyrants and dictators are coming! The communist tyrants and dictators are coming!" They're coming first for unvaccinated Americans.

This is 1938. I'm a Jew. I now understand just a little of what it felt like to be a Jew in 1938. No, it's not the Holocaust. Nothing can be compared to the Holocaust. Ever.

But 1938 was not the Holocaust.

It was the pre-Holocaust. It was the time before the nightmare, when the foundation was being laid to destroy the freedom, free speech, businesses and lives of millions of Jews.

Everything happening today to the American people … to the U.S. Constitution … to freedom … and particularly to unvaccinated Americans reminds me of 1938. This is only the beginning.

It gets much worse from here.

First, "the papers." Vaccine mandates and vaccine passports are just like 1938, when the Gestapo demanded papers from every German.

Republicans asked for "papers" from migrants who had broken into our country. Criminals. Dem-

ocrats said, "No, that's racism."

Republicans asked for "papers" once every two years for federal elections, to prove you have a right to vote. Democrats said, "No, that's racism."

Now Democrats want American citizens, not illegal aliens, not criminals, but patriots born in this country, to produce papers 24/7.

We'll need papers to enter restaurants, bars, nightclubs, concerts, casinos, conventions and hotels and to board a train, plane or bus.

We'll need papers to enter a supermarket, or we'll starve to death.

All for the crime of being unvaccinated against … wait for it …

The flu.

All for the crime of being unwilling to inject an untested, rushed to production, experimental, "for emergency use only" shot into our bodies.

What happened to the war cry of Democrats: "My body, my choice"? It only applies to murdering babies, but it doesn't apply to dangerous experimental shots we don't want injected into our bodies.

Weren't Jews injected with experimental drugs by the depraved Nazi government? Wasn't that a key part of the Nuremberg trials? That no government could ever again inject experimental shots into the bodies of unwilling citizens? Isn't

Bulldogs

Howe’s Carson Daniels (20) carries the ball early in the game.

The game began with an “uh oh, here we go again” moment as Callisburg mis-hit the opening kickoff which resulted in a bounding ball between the two lines of Howe and into the lap of the Wildcats. However, the Bulldog defense forced a punt on the opening possession of the year.

Trapped deep in their own territory, Howe was also forced to punt.

The field position was the main factor in the first quarter as Howe’s punt gave the ball to Callisburg at the Howe 30 yard line which they were able to turn into points on a 1-yard touchdown by Carl Moore. The initial touchdown on the Bulldog Stadium turf gave Callisburg a 7-0 lead with 4:32 remaining after the successful PAT by Domingo Mata.

Howe took exactly 11 seconds to answer right back when Cooper

Jones raced 76 yards on the ensuing kickoff to the south endzone.

Daniel Del Angel gave Howe the point after and the game was tied, 7-7 at the 4:21 mark in the first.

Callisburg then began an 8-play drive that looked to result in a touchdown when Caden Flanagan broke free on a reception and appeared to be on his way to score until All-Texomaland safety Austin Haley tackled him at the six yard line. Moments later on a 4th -and-goald from the one, Haley along with Luis Gonzalez combined to force a turnover on downs when they tacked Wildcat quarterback Colton Montgomery for a yard loss.

Howe took possession at their own two yard line seeking away to turn the field position somehow in their favor. The result was a 12-play, 98-yard drive that took nearly half of the clock in

the second quarter. Howe drew Callisburg in the neutral zone which allowed Haley essentially a free play. He launched an air missile to receiver Kaleb McNutt who hauled it in over the cornerback A.J. Cowger for a 36-yard gain to near midfield at the 43 yard line. Haley moments later snuck a crucial sneak for a first down to keep the drive alive. He then threw a 20-yard strike to slot receiver Ethan Lopez for another first down. A bullet throw from Haley to McNutt across the middle set up Howe at 1st-and-goal from the five yard line. Three plays later Jones scored on a 2yard plunge as he took the direct snap. Del Angel’s kick gave Howe their first lead at Bulldog Stadium of the year at 14-7.

But just as Jones returned the ensuing kickoff to stop Callisburg momentum, Colton Simpson did the same the for the Wildcats as he raced 74 yards for the score to tie game at 14 all after the PAT with 6:54 remaining before the half.

Howe’s next drive chewed up the remainder of the clock by logging an incredible 18 plays over 52 yards, however, a 28-yard field goal attempt by Del Angel said barely to the right and Howe settled for a tie ballgame as they entered the half time locker room.

Callisburg opened the second half with the ball, but Carson Daniels caused a fumble of Montgomery where it was finally recovered by Haley after a dash for it covering 10 yards.

Howe then committed their first penalty of only two on the even-

ing (two false starts), but a first down pass to a streaking Ryan Hough made up for it. He then hit Lopez for a 12-yarder and hit Jones on a pass over the middle where he slammed down to the turf the would-be tackler Moore.

On a 3rd-and-goal from the three, Haley found McNutt five yards deep in the endzone on the near the middle of the field for the touchdown. Del Angel’s kick was good, and Howe took a 21-14 lead with 5:15 remaining in the third quarter.

Again, Callisburg answered back with a 5-play, 30-yard drive that ended on a 7-yard touchdown by Moore. The Wildcats instead of attempting to tie the game, went for a 2-point conversion which was successful when Jake Pollard took the snap in the swinging gate formation and broke the tackle of McNutt to score in the front corner of the southwest endzone.

That gave Callisburg a 22-21 lead with 3:44 left in the third.

Daniels ripped off a 23-yard run for Howe on the next possession, but the drive stalled after three straight incomplete passes. Haley punted to Callisburg which trapped them at their own seven yard line.

The Wildcats put together a 13play, 93-yard drive that would give them some breathing room.

It also took 6:18 off the clock before Montgomery punched it across the line from the five yard line with 7:01 remaining in the game. Callisburg’s PAT was blocked by Bryce Crosby and recovered by Haley. That left it a one-score game at 28-21.

Bulldogs Haley and company began the ensuing drive at their own 25 and quickly marched down the field with runs by Daniels and passes to Hough and McNutt. But at the Callisburg 20 yard line, Moore came on a blitz untouched and sacked Haley which caused a fumble which was recovered by the Wildcats.

From their own 32 yard line, Montgomery caught Howe napping and hit Simpson in stride for a 68-yard touchdown which put the final touches on their 35-21 win.

Haley finished the night 23-of-36 passing with 254 yards, one touchdown and one interception which was late in the game. Daniels led Howe in rushing with 10 carries for 46 yards. McNutt finished with five receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown while Jones finished with seven catches for 68 yards, however, only one catch in the second half. Ryan Hough caught five balls for 55 yards. Lopez added four catches for 45 yards.

Howe’s losing streaking reaches 13 games, but Friday night saw a different team than what strolled out in the previous 12 games.

Kaleb McNutt hauls in a touchdown in the third quarter of Friday’s game.

Howe amassed 307 yards of offense which is the most since the final game of the 2019 season.

Haley’s 254 passing yards is the second most of his career behind the 301 he had his freshman year at Bonham. It was the most passing yards for a Bulldogs quarterback on opening night. Jay Skipworth held the previous mark with 200 passing yards at Cooper in the 1989 season opener.

Howe will face Bells next Friday night at home. They opened the season with a 41-37 overtime loss at Whitesboro Friday night.

Welcome to 1938 (Continued from page 6)

that a basic human right?

By the way, this isn't about vaccines. If you want the vaccine, take it. I'd never stop you. I'd never limit your freedom, your choice. This is about vaccine mandates – forcibly injecting Americans who don't want it.

That's 1938.

But there's much more in common with 1938. Mask mandates. If you're scared, wear them. I'm not scared. I don't want to wear them.

Mandates are about forcing individuals to lose their freedom, choice, individuality and human rights. That's 1938.

Lockdowns are a match with the Warsaw Ghetto. Jews were locked down. Jews couldn't work. Jews couldn't travel. Jewish businesses were labeled "nonessential."

If government can force us to close our businesses, to kill our jobs, to decide who is nonessential, then this is 1938.

Stars on clothing. It's coming. The vaccinated get into restaurants, bars, concerts, supermarkets, planes and trains. They keep their jobs. The rest of us are marked as "subhuman" for life. That's the star. That's 1938.

Media and social media as the public-relations wing of the government. That's called propaganda. Remind you of 1938? Back then, the Jews' books were burned. Today, it's those of con-

servatives, patriots and specifically the unvaccinated. We are silenced. Our facts are labeled "misleading." Only the facts that agree with big government's agenda count. That's 1938.

Door-to-door intimidation and making lists of those who disagree with "government knows best." Trust me, that army of door -to-door vaccine brainwashers will soon be turned into a Gestapo of gun-grabbers. 1938 was the year Nazis banned Jews from owning guns. They took them door to door. That's 1938.

Only days ago, a former Department of Homeland Security official said the unvaccinated should be on the federal no-fly list. That's exactly how Nazis attacked the Jews and others who disagreed with their agenda. It was always lists. Lists of people to be disappeared in the middle of the night; lists of those to be sent to reeducation camps; lists of those to be sent to concentration camps; lists of enemies of the state. It's happening again. Maybe this time you'll only lose your job or free speech. This is, again, 1938.

It's all disgusting and disgraceful.

But I'm warning you, this is just the start. It's all going downhill from here – fast. This is the end of America. This is 1938.

Unless we stop it now. Unless we take a stand now. Unless we draw a line in the sand now.

First, they came for the unvaccinated. Trust me: Next, they're coming for you.

Shelley Luther spoke out Saturday against Sherman ISD mask mandate on the Grayson County Courthouse steps Shelley Luther drew fame for being arrested a year ago in defiance of the shutdown order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott. She has since become the folk hero for “strict-constitutionalists” around North Texas. She was in Sherman Saturday to speak on the courthouse steps against the Sherman ISD mask mandate imposed last week and had some harsh words to say about the governmental overreach.

She said her and her husband traveled to Austin to plead with the Texas Legislature about masking children and what schools are psychologically doing to kids.

She said her 11-year-old stepson no longer smiles and makes excuses to not go to school. Luther says he has severe depression.

Upon telling the legislature the story of her son, she received surprising support from a Democrat lawmaker whose son had just committed suicide.

“This year there’s an optional mask mandate and the kid is totally different now,” said Luther.

“He comes home and is blabbing about school all the time. He loves school. He said, ‘we actually get to sit next to our friends at lunch.’”

Luther said that the government is using people’s kids to get to control the parents.

“You must stand up,” said Luther.

“If you don’t, your kids are going to think it’s okay for someone to tell them to wear a mask somewhere and they should just do it.

If you don’t stand up and you don’t cause a stink—you’re the problem. You must do it.”

The former 13-year schoolteacher then blasted the teachings of Critical Race Theory. She said she got out of teaching because she saw where things were headed such as her not being allowed to tell the students to stand for the flag.

“The world is upside down and the only way to stop it is you,” said Luther. “Sherman ISD School Board has got to go. They were voted in—you vote them out. They don’t get a second chance on this one. They need to go.”

She then challenged the crowd to show which ones were running for school board. “If it’s not you—then who? It’s you,” said Luther. “God says you must act now without fear. These kids are counting on you.”

City of Howe SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! That's why the City of Howe has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications.

This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers a prerecorded message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area possibly including instructions requiring action on the part of the recipient. Once the situation is remedied, another call will be placed to the area signaling that the issue has been addressed and that normal activities can be resumed.

The following information is required to add a telephone number into the "CodeRED" database: first and last name; address (physical address, no P.O. boxes); city; state; Zip Code; and primary phone number. The system works with cellular phones but requires a valid street address. When entering information, please fill out all of the screens because the newest data entered will replace the old data.

Texas History Minute Many historians have called Stephen F. Austin the “father of Texas” for his efforts to bring the first settlers from the United Ken Bridges States into Texas. But the story begins with his own father, businessman and visionary Moses Austin, who in his own way became the “grandfather of Texas.”

Moses Austin was born in Connecticut in October 1761, already part of a pioneer tradition. His ancestors arrived in the early waves of settlers from England in the early seventeenth century. His father, Elias Austin, was a man of many trades and had worked as a tailor, tavern owner, and farmer.

He thus learned from his father’s business sense and soon wanted to step out into more lucrative trades.

Austin had a sharp eye for business. In 1784, he joined his older brother, Stephen Austin, in a successful dry goods business in Philadelphia. Here, Moses Austin married Mary Brown in 1785, the daughter of a wealthy iron mine owner, and the two would have five children.

Eager to build on their success in Pennsylvania, the Austins moved to Virginia to expand their dry goods business and move into mining. In 1789, the brothers assisted with the construction of the Virginia State Capitol building, designed by Thomas Jefferson.

The Austins, through their lead

mining business, constructed the original roof for the building. The two soon expanded their mining operations into southwestern Virginia. They founded the small community of Austinville to support their lead and zinc mines in the area. However, the mine played out within a few years.

With money problems mounting, Moses Austin moved to Missouri in 1798 to establish a new series of mines.

By the time the United States purchased the region from France in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase, Austin was already an established business leader in the area. He made a fortune in the mining business and founded several communities along the Mississippi River. While in Missouri, he and a group of business partners formed the Bank of St. Louis, which was the first bank established west of the Mississippi River. While the effort did not last long, the bank helped solidify St. Louis’s position as a major center of commerce.

can settlers to the area and develop new communities was met with deep skepticism in December 1820. After an initial rejection by the Spanish governor in San Antonio, Austin convinced the respected local businessman, Felipe Neri, Baron de Bastrop, to appeal on his behalf. Because of the baron’s appeals, the governor reluctantly agreed. Eventually, several thousand acres were offered for settlement.

The trip to Texas exhausted Austin. In his already weakened state, he obsessively worked to make his Texas settlements a success when his frail health collapsed.

Determined that his Texas dream would continue, he enlisted the support of his son. With his dying strength, he had his wife write a letter to their son begging him to continue his father’s work. Moses Austin died in June 1821. Their son, the always loyal and devoted

The Panic of 1819 wiped out Moses Austin’s mining fortune.

Deeply in debt and frustrated, he began looking for new outlets to repay his business partners and creditors. His vision turned toward Texas colonization.

At the time, Spain struggled to hold onto its vast empire in the New World. Its territories, running from California to Texas to South America in 1819, were thinly settled in many areas and difficult to defend or develop.

Apologies are empty without forgiveness We acknowledge God’s blessings in our own life as well as those around us. Of course, we have our share of problems and Dr. Billy struggles, but Holland for the most part, the Lord has provided for our basic needs, and to be honest, he has also given us a lot of luxuries. Our seasons of difficulty might be with a relationship, financial hardships, issues with our health, the loss of a loved one, or the occasional internal suffering associated with rejection, but God promises that he is with us in whatever we are going through.

In the hard times, we are tempted to deny the situation or hide from the agony, which we all know is like putting a band-aid on a broken arm. Discouragement is real and unfortunately, a lot of people live with a smile on the outside but are crying on the inside.

There are several keys that can help us overcome discouragement and one of them is instead of asking God to change everyone’s view of us, let us pray that we might see ourselves the way he sees us. Examining our conscience involves analyzing what we believe and why. This will allow us to find the real cause of our disappointments and help us discover a deeper understanding of why we feel the way we do.

When we comprehend how our personal trigger mechanisms and response buttons operate, this is a huge step toward knowing that the way we think controls our emotions.

Sometimes our rejection is associated with our gifts and talents and how we believe that no one cares about what we enjoy. When it comes to our spiritual wellbeing, an important key to consider is that whatever we do for God, it’s wise to be sure that God told us to do it. It’s much better to listen and follow God’s directions than to do something on our own and then ask him to bless it.

The idea of patience is to prevent putting the cart before the horse.

It’s easy to forget that obedience is up to us, but the results of our labors are up to him and are sole-

ly based on his intentions. If we really believe this, we would never be upset because we would know that everything is being accomplished according to his will.

If we are dissatisfied with the results, then we are probably focusing on our own projections and expectations instead of trusting that God is guiding our life with his divine sovereignty. For example, by the mercy of God when we are allowed to create something and it’s used to help encourage one person, then maybe that was God’s original objective. In this light, just because we are not world-famous or making millions does not mean we have failed to be a success in God’s view. Being popular with the world has nothing to do with how much God loves you and is pleased with you.

Misery and sadness are many times caused when we assume something is one way when it’s actually something else. It’s not always true that others do not like us or respect us. We seldom consider that others might feel that we are angry and offended at them. When we surrender our pain and allow God to heal us, we can freely and sincerely forgive others. Sometimes we decide that someone does not deserve our forgiveness for what they have said or done. We feel justified in withholding forgiveness from them but in reality; we are only storing up more anger, bitterness, and sadness which keeps us in the bondage of misery. This can become an infection within our soul that can make us calloused and unable to see clearly. When we realize those around us are wounded and have a tendency to wound others, we will not see them as the enemy just because they disagree with us. We can begin to recognize that something in their past causes them to act out of their pain. This is why God encourages us to live as close to Him as we can. Christ is the healer of our hearts and our only hope of eternal salvation. Many times the focus is on apologies and this is good in order to help with restoration, but more importantly there must be forgiveness or we are still in bondage. Apologies are empty without forgiveness. It’s the enemy of our soul (not each other) who is trying to destroy our joy, peace, and relationships.

Friday Night Lights Living with children Photos by Michelle Carney

“We should, like, what? Give him a year to figure out his life and move out?”

I’m talking to the parents of a twenty-one-year -old male who instead of going to college or into the military, delivers pizzas, eats pizzas (he gets an employee discount), and plays video games. I’m having a déjà vu experience. I’ve had this conversation before, many, many times.

John Rosemond

“Why a year?”

“Um, well, that’s enough time for him to figure things out, isn’t it?”

“Why not a month? A year just gives you twelve months to come up with excuses for not following through.”

“A month?” They look at each other like they’ve just seen a ghost.

“Um, well, um, I mean,” the father stammers, “what if he’s not ready in a month? What do we do then?” He looks at his wife, the child’s mother, who is looking at him somewhat sternly, and then says to me, “Um, I don’t really think a month is enough time.”

He can read his wife’s mind, I see.

“Why not? What you do is one day when he’s out delivering pizzas, you go in his room, unplug his video game, gather it up, take it to your workplace and put it in a safe or something. Then, when he comes home and discovers it missing and begins to go into withdrawal, you tell him that when he moves out, he gets his video game console back. Not until then. He’ll probably be gone in a week. You want him gone, right?”

The parents look at each other, then back to me in silent shock and bewilderment. I’m a psychologist. I can read minds. They

are beginning to regret they ever sought my advice, especially the child’s mother. She is freaking out. Obviously, I care nothing for her maternal instincts.

She finally speaks up. “John, now really, a month is hardly enough time for him to get his act together.”

“I disagree and I’ve had a lot more experience at this than you have. He’s intelligent. He has a valid high school diploma. He knows the difference between right and wrong. He has no incapacities. He even has a car. When I was twenty, a year younger than your son and without a car, my nineteen-year-old future wife and I figured out in less than a month what you want your son to figure out and we got married and moved into a three-room apartment in someone’s basement and never looked back. Your son can do this. You just have to disappear the video game and use it as a carrot, and a huge carrot it will be.”

Much to my amazement, they did it, probably after throwing up several times. And a month later, their son was gone with his video game, and a year later, he was still gone and figuring it out, one step at a time. He had an apartment, two jobs, a roommate, a car, and was playing his video game less and less because sleep was the more pressing priority.

Most important, perhaps, this young adult’s mother was still of sound mind. Sounder, even.

You can do it too. Remember, no pain, no gain.
