15:24 - Well, it's not like it matters after all

Yay! Bill Whittle's back! Sort of.

But though his latest post isn't one of his capital-E Essays, it does have this observation:

The best thing about Eject! Eject! Eject!, of course, is that it gives me a voice. It puts me in the fight. The worst thing about Eject! Eject! Eject! is that that voice obligates you to stay in the fight. And when you feel like you are a part of the fight, it is very, very hard not to be swinging all the time. In the car on the way home. Watching the news. Overhearing a conversation in the next room. And even with all the energy and stamina you can muster, sometimes you need to hear that bell and sit down for those precious sixty seconds. Not throw in the towel. Just sit down, spit in a bucket, and try to get the idea of hitting hard and getting hit back out of your head for a few precious moments. Unclench your fists. Breathe.

....Yeah. No kidding.

Bill has the courage to hang it up for seven weeks at a time, though, and that's more than I can say for me. Ah well—at least I'm still enjoying the process, even if it doesn't particularly look that way on certain days.
