-- How Right You Are, Jeeves, by P.G. Wodehouse
Thirty-three Latin final exams. Twenty-some excruciating pages of sentence translation. Much red ink. Tears, hysterical laughter, and pre-teen classroom flatulence. Then a punctured tire, delayed start, numerous meltdowns from the youngest family member, with only audiotapes of Ian Carmichael reading the above book to spur us on to the pit stop. And tomorrow is another day.
