The journey is the reward

When I started POCM I thought I was working toward a result, a finished thing. The baby on my knee was a baby. These days she kick starts her own motorcycle, swears, slow plays three of a kind, and finds the zeroes hidden in systems of equations. And still POCM isn't finished. POCM isn't a destination, it's a process.

Read around the holes. And check back from time to time. Occasionally I fill one in.
