And so, here I am again

The hardest thing is thinking about those left behind.  I have dedicated so much of my time to helping the illiterates of Midleton it pains me to take even so much as a day off, never mind a month. Sure, a lot has been done on the traffic light project, but progress has been slow, too slow. And the addition of two new 'Corcaigh' signs in the centre of the town has done no favours to anyone. But still, we keep going. For what else is there?

The hardest for me though will be saying goodbye to the Parrots Who Went Too Far group, the PWWTF group. Was it their fault that they learnt too quickly from their human overlords, that they mastered the dark web, and merely copied those fornication methods from their masters? If you open the door to enlightenment, you must sent them free.

Still, despite my long list of charitable endeavours, I must, yet again, venture into the breach. I should have learnt that despite all my efforts I cannot save my lessers. They must save themselves, and I must save myself, and not be so focused on saving them. But still I must try because you never know with these things. 

Plus, as Guru Gubaluba often reminds us, it is only in humbleness that one can eat pie, and become truly cleansed, or words to that effect. That guy is a legend, personal hygiene issues aside.
