When it comes back, I always feel like the school bell has rung at the end of a long day, and I and the rest of the too-well-behaved children erupt loudly, clog the doors escaping, and pelt out to freedom.

And then I realize the free time Max gives up to MAKE the bell ring, and I feel really shitty, but terribly grateful. Yes I spent more time with Hardi, but then again I could not regale him with jokes from Mudcat! :~)

Max-- GOOD call on not coming back early to ring the bell.
