Life - no greater yak shaving exercise

Seems like life is a long exercise in yak shaving. It is all the yak shaving in between birth and death - stuff like:

• being a kid
• growing up (physically at least)
• surviving elementary school
• surviving high school / teen years (got awkward photos too?)
• surviving your parents (who, in a twist of irony, somehow get much smarter after your first child)
• college
• marriage
• spousing (made up, but it works)
• parenting
• working
• etc....

So, in the end, we're all yak shavers. Welcome to the club...
