"Fear breads a deadening caution, a holding back, a stagnant waiting until people no longer can recall what they are waiting for or saving themselves for. When we fear failure more than we love life; when we are dominated by thoughts of what we might have been rather than by thoughts of what we might become; when we are haunted by the disparity between our ideal self and our real self; when we are tormented by guilt, shame, remorse, and self-condemnation, we deny our faith in the God of love."

Anatomy of the Cold

There's a truth about anatomy and physiology.  The scrotum and testicles are located on the outside of the body because optimal sperm formation occurs a few degrees cooler than core temp (about 98.6 F).  Well, ye ole' scrotum is controlled by two muscle groups that control the elevation of the testicles, assisting with their warming and cooling, and of course, optimizing sperm production.  Well, the dartos and cremaster muscles both contract in response to one of two stimuli, sexual arousal or cold.  Well, in light of the painful, tragic and dire lack of sexual arousal there can be only one reason my testicles have been resting about 2 or 3 centimeters from my heart for the last few days.......it's cold as hell!  Holy......

GLAD TO HEAR YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TESTICLES! Sometimes you have to really look hard to find the silver lining in a situation.
