11/20/05: Interlude

M: I know, I know. Six weeks between strips is stretching it a bit, even for me. But I just can't wrap my head around all the shit I've been
going through recently. I'm actually having nightmares about my projects, which are all behind time, faulty and too expensive to produce.
Great stuff. And now I'm even physically broken (more or less). Have you ever run 10 kilometers? Good. Now imagine running them at
five degrees Celsius below freezing point. Still with me? Then picture yourself completely untrained for the last three months. I think I
only went for an easy jog once or maybe twice in all that time. Great way to prepare for a race such as this, where even families are
motivated all the way down to their toes. You should try it some time...
