So! Where all my other non-trads with no one else particularly personally invested in our applications to spend eight of our last good childbearing years, and, oh, around $300,000? *big inhale* ...at?

Holllaaaaaaaaaa.....

You go, ham.

I've started describing the stability of my current life plan as being out on a limb. On a branch actively breaking off a tree 400 feet up, in a strong wind suggestive of a fast-approaching thunderstorm, and I'm lunging, to save myself, at a passing metal-framed kite that's tethered by fraying string to a 5 year old on the ground who is also working on a very drippy popsicle and is about to get stung by a hornet.

. Brilliant.

Can't say that was most productive minute of my day, but definitely not the least productive either.

This is dripping with awesome...

...but no pineapple and glaze. Gotta fix that.

Here's what you do. You book a flight to Peru and you go out to the jungle to see some shaman, only it won't be the jungle it'll be some apartment in Cusco and it won't be a shaman it'll be some guy named Raymond, and good ol' Ray will feed you some ayahuasca, unless he's out of ayahuasca in which case it'll be a big honking hunk of San Pedro, and you'll trip balls for a few hours and then what will happen is, you'll remember that none of this. actually. matters.

And then you'll go home and ride that metal framed kite to the damn moon, ham-friend. To the mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.

I ran down the road
Pants down to my knees
Screaming "Please come help me
That Canadian shaman
Gave a little too much to me"
and I'm writing a novel...

..about ham.

It's almost too much realness.

If the ham can make it, so can I dammit. Inspired.

Hey, the ham just rode the escalator and increased its potential energy… it did negative work (= -delta_PE), people… it looks entitled too… what a snob…
