maturity (get-well message)

I guess I am actually recovered, David. Though the process of getting back
to normal takes a little longer than it used to. An aspect of "maturing" that
is not well advertised. It's as if the body accumulates inertia, like a rolling
ball of mud.

The zoological metaphor is that wasp that rolls up little balls of shit and
builds things with them. Should be the mascot of an engineering school. Somebody
call M.I.T.!
