Hannah’s impossible child

Mission Impossible.  I was probably watching Peter Graves do his thing when Tom Cruise was still eating his stained Gerber peas.  That whole, “this mission, should you decided to accept it” [yeah, right, like you have a choice when you work for the government…] and then the whole this-message-will-self-destruct-in five-seconds thing.  Simply iconic.

I wonder how often I’m given my own seemingly impossible mission, but choose to self-destruct instead.  And I mean me, not the mission. 

I like the story of an Old Testament woman named Hannah.  There were few women’s rights back then, like, zero.
