A Quiet Year ... somehow it seemed longer than a year ...

When we were much younger people, we thought it fun to give each other a thing called a "nut check".
One would bang another in a rather sensitive part of your buddy's anatomy to inflict pain and delight in another's discomfort. I did say much younger.
This stems from baseball where as young people we were reluctant to wear the appropriate safety equipment. No, I don't mean a paper towel mask from Chyna. I mean a plastic shell to protect the family ... uh ... jewels ... from harm as one charged the ball from the short stop position.
A baseball player so equipped might avoid a rather painful injury if they were simply protected from a Nut Check.
In a Quiet Year, I miss the funness of being bent over gasping for air in pain as compared to ... having a community map making experience.
Yeesh ... I'm not their target audience. I wish them all the success in the world. Perhaps ... in Japan though.
Yours,
