This post is a long time in the making and it's about the quickest I've ever decided to buy a pricier piece of cardboard. I had been planning and planning for this day for years, knowing that if and when it arrived I could not hesitate and I would simply need to fork over the cash and lock it up before it had a chance to scurry away. When you've been working on a project for a decade or so, money becomes no object at the tail end of the chase if the project means anything to you beyond something to pass the time.
