pogo sticks

jill had a pogo stick when she was little. and despite the fact that she will NEVER live down having played in the band and worked as a sonic carhop, i look up to her. she's never bought a pack of cigarettes, and she rarely drinks at 'i never'. but she's loosened up with us. she knows crippy and loves camping out at blue river. she's brilliant, has her phd in ears and is jaw-dropping beautiful - she has no idea. she's the one who keeps us all in check, at least for the most part and the one to pick up the pieces when we don't heed her advice. someday she will achieve all we know she's capable of, and i, for one, will sit back with a grin and a beer and say 'i told you so. i knew you could do it. i'm so proud of you'.
