Saif al-Islam Qaddafi, the Dictator's 'Good Son,' &c. -- Jay Nordlinger's Impromptus for June 28, 2017 | National Review:





I was struck by a sentence — a phrase in particular. It is found in this story. A fisherman, John Aldridge, was flung off his boat in the Atlantic and stranded, in the ocean, for twelve hours. Twelve “terrifying hours,” the story says. Aldridge himself commented, “Being in the ocean in the middle of the night, 2 o’clock in the morning, 45 miles from land, you gotta really summon up some heavy mental game to get through.”

You gotta really summon up some heavy mental game, for sure. I’ll remember that. God bless John Aldridge, and you all.
