Analogy of the Day

Author Julian Barnes in Talking It Over, likening life to invading Russia:

"A blitz start, massed shakos, plumes dancing like a flustered henhouse; a period of svelte progress recorded in ebullient despatches as the enemy falls back.

"Then the beginning of a long morale-sapping trudge with rations getting shorter and the first snowflakes on your face."

Update: it has now become clear to me that this is an equally appropriate analogy for maintaining a blog.
