Victoire a la XD

I have run the race, I have finished the XD course.

Of course, when I say the word "race", I'm using it in a purely figurative sense. I state this for those of you who wear the ear-to-ear grins that glow with the shine of one who has completed said course before me, even if you came in 10 milliseconds before me. Big deal, I once took a test on the book of Acts and won a calculator. Tremble before my feat.

The Pre XD was a real blessing and an inspiring course for me. I learned a lot and came to enjoy it immensely, even if it meant some personal sacrifice of free time, sleep, and admire-your-reflection-in-the-mirror-while-humming-the-Peter-and-Heidi-and-Grandpa-and-goats-song time.

I am grateful to any and all who made the XD online course a reality, I could hug and dance the can-can with you.

...

Well, maybe just hug you.
