The special occasion last week was Ryan's 21st birthday, the day every young man worships as the day of emancipation from the filial bonds, and the day of legal drinking. Ryan awoke early on that day, had breakfast, had lunch and had a few beers. The night was to be the greatest of his life and Ryan was not about to let anyone forget it. "Where you all going drinking tonight," he said, "In the grave yards, or the woods? Maybe you can go to Niccola, but then they might be carding... too bad." Ryan ran on and on he rested on the couch in his room just counting the beers he was going to have and practicing how he would react when someone challenged his age. "I'll just reach in my pocket pull out my Notre Dame I.D., my draft card, my drivers license... Cause in six hours and 22 minutes I'm iOing to be 21."
