Thanks for sharing!

What else does this to us? Makes us pray to strangers on TV at 2am, swear and sweat. Makes us think of adventure, poetry, engineering and the miraculous. Makes us decide, “&^%$ work tomorrow”. Makes us feel grateful to be alive and search for adjectives, only to find “fantastic” won’t fit but maybe “delirious” will.

What does this? Only sport some days.
