So here it is, the first step in the journey. That priceless moment when you hang suspended and nearly motionless as the momentum of the roller coaster cart inches agonizingly over the zenith of the first hill.

The assault on hell begins now, where I'm gonna throw out a link to a website I came across years and years ago... long before the word blog had even entered our vocabulary.
