But there is this part of your brain that tells you that you are supposed to keep on trying? I feel like one of those new guys on an ambulance crew. I keep trying to resuscitate the dead guy - the rest of the crew gave up hours ago and they are all waiting for me to realize that no matter what I do - I can't bring him back to life. I can keep trying - exhausting myself - only to reach the same result that I would have if I stopped long ago. Grrrrr....Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
