Describe exultation.
Exultation is 30 minute erg workouts on a Saturday morning. It's running 7 miles with snow on the ground. It's rowing in the pouring rain at 6 in the morning with the coxswain screaming at you, all for a race lasting less than 7 minutes. But there is no better way to describe exultation than …

Boxers or briefs? Discuss.
It is difficult to choose between boxers or briefs without given any specific circumstances. At first thought, I chose briefs but after some more thinking, I realized there are times when boxers are more appropriate. If a shirtless man with chiseled abs were to take his pants off, I’d like to see a nice pair …

A storm destroys your uncle’s shed and kills his six-year-old son. Describe the color of the sky right before the storm hit.
It's the color that when you were young, would make your stomach flip inside out. The color Momma called ominous, although you were never really sure what that meant. It's all the wrong colors a sky should be at 3:00 on a sunny Summer day. Before the sky changed color, it was the perfect blue, …
