This is great, Bret. The right thing at the right time (but isn't the time always right? :). I hope many people will read this, and take heed. Thanks!!
I had completely forgotten about Tony Scott's amazing record. Absolutely correct, Bret. Breathe, slowly, use your entire lungs, top to bottom. Use your abdomen as a handle, like a bellows. Just take it slow.
Sound advice for those in the race! That is one thing, thank god, I left behind when I got clean and sober at the age of 30, when I could just be myself and not have to pretend that I didn't do all the ridiculous things I did. I remember once saying, when I was still on the alcoholic treadmill, "All I do is fuck up and clean up." And so it was.
Such a powerful question, Bret. Thanks for another excellent column like your piece about "Someday." I shared that one with a good friend and I'm going to pass this one along to her too.

That was more than 50 years ago.
