"Hurdlers are sprinters with a problem. They're not satisfied just to sprint. Anybody can sprint, some not as well as others of course, but anybody can sprint. Not everybody can run hurdles. There's an extra dimension involved. Hurdlers would make a good subject for a thesis in psychology - they are of a persuasion that just needs an extra dimension."

Just a few more days to the finish line, and we're sprinting and jumping hurdles, and trying to
"...keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs ..."

Oh, my goodness. The image of you driving a Monster Truck is bright in my mind. Go, Mary Lee! Crush those last few school day!
ReplyDeleteI'd never thought of you in a monster truck before. Seems I've been underestimating your talents and fortitude. Good luck as you plow through that finish line :)!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteNot much longer, Mary Lee! Hang in there.
Mary Lee, I didn't know you loved Monster Trucks. As Junie B., First Grader says, you have a crunch on them.
