The rest of the interview was uneventful. Buzz and I parted on cordial terms, and I went back to work and did my best to put it out of my mind. Usually I'm pretty good at that - moving forward, focusing on the task at hand - because you have to be, if you're going to accomplish anything in this world. The past is always looking over your shoulder, whispering things you don't want to hear. You just have to ignore it until it goes away.
