i am happy to heap deserved praise on marty ... do not know how he does it, but every time i wager against him, i believe / recollect i lost
i should have listened to myself, having earlier noted that i cannot imagine why anyone would wish to hold a position over the coming week-long lunar new year break
in the mean time, the pain is good, for the greater good
in case i forget, i yell, "fire"
