And it'll be the same the next time. As far as I'm concerned, the research and the learning is just another part of the job. Sometimes, just clearly defining what you want out of it all is the tough part. After that, the wrenching is the easy part (or at least it used to be).

I hear you on the implications of the passage of time . . .
