Very well indeed.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette prints a column down the left side of the
front page consisting of one-paragraph news stories.  One Sunday, I bought
a paper on the way to Church, and was scanning it.  I noticed two short
paragraphs about two young men of about the same age -- one was the
firefighter whose hands were burned trying to rescue other firefighters in
a forest fire, and the other was one of the royal princes.  The stories
were about the firefighter being released from the hospital, and the prince
about to start college.

The firefighter was quoted as saying "I just want to go back to work."

The prince was quoted as saying, "I just want to go to university and
have fun."

I thought how lucky we are to have the firefighter and not the prince. :-)
