Because nothing has really started yet. And it is my motto that the horse that starts slow will usually end up in the photo finish. (not even sure what that means).

Just go ahead and take your time. Take the time to savor those delicious words of Caesar, even if you don't like it.

(Actually, my other motto is to read a book you don't like as fast as you can to get through it quicker)

Not that *I* have done that.
