spacer


 it's about a 3 mile walk
 from our place to the
 jam space. the good
 news is it's all downhill, 
 but the bad news should
 be obvious--the way back
 is the opposite, with most
 of the 400 foot elevation
 gain concentrated on belmont ave
 between lakeview boulevard and
 broadway. it's one of those
 stretches where if it were any
 steeper it would require stairs.
 after jamming for hours stand-
 ing on a concrete floor and ageing
 by the minute, it truly is tempting
 to give up, maybe hop on a scooter,
 but some kind soul had the foresight
 to write these words of encouragement.
 apply wherever it applies. one must keep going.
 the alternative is to curl up and die.
