First off, I feel it may be necessary here to apologize a little bit to those of my regular readers (if there are in fact any). It is often said that the month of March “comes in like a lion and out like a lamb”, except in my case the lion began to roar mid-February. [...]

Inspiration and motivation often strike you in the most unexpected ways, as was the case with me this afternoon.
