Well,
A rose is a rose is a rose and Dan is Dan is¡Ä.and what he serves, apparently the real thing.

I suppose, if Dan ever stopped his training he might be easier to keep up with, but as he obviously never stops, ¡Ä¡Ä.

What really counts is that you see some improvement in the achievement of the objectives he and you have set out for, at least a beginning of it. Two years isn't really that little time, if well spent.

So you see some progress, don't you? I guess, Dan would like to see this.

And you would make you the envy of me.
(Because, sometimes you just gotta be honest)
