Geese

See those large birds over yonder? The ones feeding in that field? The ones planning their trek south to somewhere warm?

Those would be the geese.

Now look over there... See that hunched over thing shuffling like Igor holding its back and howling? That thing that looks like a mutated elephant man?

That would be me.

See the shuffling thing pick up the pace, while the large birds now alert start to squawk and holler?

That's this week.

Now see that shuffling thing break out into a full shuffling canter? And see the large birds run right at the shuffling thing?

That's the chase.

See who's winning?

The geese!
