thrill

step 3. over. cleared. buried. wheeeeee!

i am so thankful i will not be doing this again, and equally thankful i suffer through it.

what i can say is, the years make an enormous difference to attitude. the fearsome finals back in the day are a little lower on the pecking order now, behind the groceries laundry weather parenting and recreation.

i will also venture that it is good for the mind to be forced through the krebs cycle every twenty years.
