That's a hell of an achievement. Well done to Filipaj. (Although, I'm not sure that his story is going to be enough to inspire me so I'll stop whining and feeling sorry for myself about how much whining and feeling sorry for myself I do.)

Terrific story. Thanks for posting this!

Richard, whining and complaining is a writer's stock and trade. As long as we're pounding out 1,000-2,000 words a day, complain all you want. We just need to balance it out with productivity.
