Fair point. I thought rather an epic tale of heroic yet ultimately tragically futile endeavour. Very British.
 
For a more uplifting Antarctic story check out Ernest Shackleton - who incidently was a member of one of Scott's earlier expeditions. I've seen the James Caird at Greenwich - it's tiny, and a friend of mine was lucky enough to visit his grave on South Georgia.

Until you have lost almost everything —- your ability to support yourself, the respect of your children, most of your worldly goods —- it's impossible to understand. I am an empty shell.

Thank you Dear.

btw, shrinks cost $$$. There is no such thing as free help.

don't look back at the past with any regrets...  that's what Nietzsche says, because in eternal return, you will be doing it again, so think positive...  it's all perspective that you choose...
