i think on a previous episode, i spoke about how i'm always pushing several balls forward, very slowly, but it's happening. some balls roll forward for days and weeks, months even, while some balls get left behind. i'll glance over my shoulder at those couple of sad balls, but instead of abandoning them like i probably should, i give them a couple of nudges forward, hoping that will be enough to give them a purposeful life.   but it's fruitless. sometimes it's for naught. did i use that correctly?
