Great days are exceptionally rare and limited.  So once in a while when I encounter these uncommon days, I am caught off-guard and blood floods the spine not knowing whether to flow up or down.  During these unique moments, I literally have to stand up and shake the whole body in order to adjust the current.  As I…
