"H" is headstrong

Being headstrong, Jack wanted more from Ennis than meeting only once in a while in the middle of nowhere.

Real life intervenes, limiting the number of times and the length of time Ennis can get away to meet Jack in the middle of nowhere.

"J" is jousts

At their last meeting by the lake, Jack and Ennis engaged in some heated verbal jousts, but after all was said and done, nothing had been resolved.

Jack disliked the limitation that they see each other only once in a while and out in the middle of nowhere.

Jack and Ennis seemed like masters of their lives when they were together out in the middle of nowhere.

"O" is offhanded

Jack made an offhanded comment about leaving Lureen and LD's giving him a down payment, but Ennis nixed it, saying they could meet once in a while, way out in the middle of nowhere.

Ennis felt pressured to create a "traditional" family when he wasn't with Jack in the middle of nowhere.

"R" is restive

Jack grew restive under Ennis's strict conditions for their meetings, finally telling him emphatically that it was "a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation."

In May of 1983 Ennis and Jack spent a few cold days at a series of little icebound, no-name high lakes in the middle of nowhere.
