I got contracts that have to refund.
And two hours later, my chief said, White, do you want to go?
And I looked.
I said, I don't want to go, chief.
I got a business.
I said, but why are you asking me this?
And he said, well, we've got a list of people here.
We're going to send these 25 people, but we're asking for volunteers before they get voluntold.
And I said, I don't want to go.
He said, you're not on the list.
You don't have to go.
Over the next couple of days, there was more conversations, and I did end up going, which kept me from competing in the 2007 USA Memory Championships.
That's why I didn't compete.
I was deployed.
When I returned, the 2008 USA Memory Championships was happening.
I'd been back in the country six weeks.
I said, I'm going to give this a shot.
I'm pretty relaxed.
I have no reason.
If I lose this, that's pretty acceptable.
