the monster
many thanks to my wise and astute friend, tony ooten.
i know that i perennially and perpetually and persistently offer the dictum:
the monster wants you to quit; don't listen to it.
i tamed the monster because i made myself in almost singleminded fashion
NOT listen to the many reasons i ought to quit, e.g. money spent, other type cards that i'm missing, preoccupation with pieces of cardboard over my academic research (sometimes!), the years and years that it takes, etc.
The monster is incessant in keeping such reasons coming.
But as the ones who have tamed the Monster on this fine board will tell you
almost in unison, i suspect, both the quest and the achievement are well worth it.
all the best in the quest,
barry
