And for our efforts, we are rewarded. I feel energized, the rest of the day looks bright, in spite of the clouds. Seriously, I take a day in between to rest and it feels to me as though it's been a week. Keep it up, even when the year runs are over, and you might make something of yourself.

What was 1994? Like the man said (though he wouldn't say it for a few years), "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." Guerrilla fell apart. My marriage fell apart. The most significant relationship in my life took a new direction. And here we are.
