Mystery Men: The Waffler

my favorite superhero. Golden crispy, bad guys are history!

if i was a superhero, i'd most likely end of a mystery men type of superhero--sort of dorky with an odd superpower that was more of a quirk than a power but with the best intentions at heart.

comedy and chaos ensues!

which, i figure is how this whole morgan retirement speech thing is going to shake out. there will be many seasoned military men there watching this small time chick dork her way through a quirky-more- than-powerful speech (although i do have the best intents at heart).

i've experienced a few humbling moments. they seem to fall into two categories:
byrne! you're inept! (i know! i know! what took you so long to figure that out??)

or

byrne! someone important in your life really digs you. (man. um. gulp. man.)

being asked by morgan to deliver his retirement speech stretches across both categories. i'm proudly terrified. i'm happily humble.

and i'm tongue-tied.
gaah.
