...have to take this week not only to get ready but also to work out. Because I'm going to do what I do every year--sit down in front of a TV and watch the first round. All seven hours. Not only do you have to flatten your derriere (I recommend "Buns of Steel") so you can sit for extended periods of time, you'll also be eating seven hours worth of junk food...
...tempting the gods, didn't have one) on those spring and summer evenings when the weather bulletins got ominous. Usually the excitement would be over in a half an hour or so, and we'd trudge back home, vaguely disappointed that the only twister spotted did nothing more than flatten a gas station near Osawatomie...

Unlike a solid disk -- a CD, for example -- this one rotates faster in the center than at the edges. The star, pulling in more matter as it grows more massive, should spin the fastest...
