Discussion: Agree

I'm the same way and, more generally, "just get started" is a good mantra in general.

On a related note, on race day I cannot trust at all what I think I feel my body is telling me. Nervousness about the performance seems to be accompanied by my body and brain telling me I feel slow and lethargic. That's when I have to forcefully remind myself to trust in the training, trust that I will respond, remember all the previous races where things went well, and generally trust that I have to "just get started." (I also remind myself that I'm just an old guy out to supposedly have fun so just chill and enjoy the day for gosh sake.)

We in Seattle appreciate your concern, if not your follow-through. However, in case you find it in your heart to make a more tangible contribution to our well-being and prevent our citizens from falling into abject destitution, feel free to donate to the city government's official community relief fund here.

That was one spooky link, I have to say.

I usually put on shades first, face away from the screen, and only then dare to click a link like that. You just never know.

But then sometimes people put up a mysterious link and it turns out to be a picture of a little happy bee on a beautiful flower. How wonderful! Once again, you just never know.
