Maggie took on an excellent opportunity as co-director of Ballet Tucson, after a long time of trying to figure out what to do post-retirement from PNB. The upshot is that we now live in two separate states, which sucks already.

Definitely glad I didn’t go with her. It would be very foolhardy to move down there in the middle of all this climate change without having a hold in the temperate north.

Grinding it out fits. It seems like he's been at this his whole life.

It tests your faith in yourself, sticking with what often feels like pointless garbage. I've said this before, but nobody but nobody who has gone thru grad school looks down on people who quit. Because it has nothing to do with intelligence or character or anything like that. You either want to do it, and keep doing it, or you don't. And if you don't, freedom is your reward.

Hello,

Congrats! Referring to other comments here, I believe it was Edison who said "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."

Similar, but more earthy, Stephen King has said of writers who take years to finish a novel, "Sounds like there's a lot of jerking off going on."

I have been trying to check that. As far as I can tell none of the NZ girls met the pre-tournament minimum height qualification, so sadly not.
