Wade Vestal

I was hovering between sleep and waking, when a name flashed into my mind: Wade Vestal.

"Like the virgins!" explained the voice of Wade, fully of oily glee.

I sensed it would be hard to get back to sleep with this damn name flashing in my mind's eye like a neon sign. It demanded attention and investigation.

I sensed that I wouldn't get anywhere googling 'Wade Vestal' (like the virgins!) but it enticed me just enough to force me awake. Also, I needed to pee (coffee is not the engine of human action; peeing is. Coffee comes from Colombia, while peeing comes from God).

So I attend to my business and then reluctantly google 'Wade Vestal', finding that there is one single person on earth by that name. And he has an Instagram account!

Not expecting much, I click into Instagram and, atop his profile I see the slogan "Don’t give up on your dreams, keep sleeping."
