I went through this whole thread today, after Sonja and Lee bumped the sister thread. So many treasures in here. I highly recommend re-reading after a long time.

On a lighter note there's this:

Yee-Haw!
Seeing what I wrote six years ago is funny. Especially since earlier this year, I had some shirt-tucking moments.
At the Soccer World Championship, I saw many players doing the sign of the cross before entering the field. And almost as often I caught myself thinking
Tuck your shirt instead, brother.After all those years.
