    It is a certain hill

      the one I imagine when I hear the word "hill"
This I love, because I do this a lot -- associate a noun with a certain mental image, usually from my childhood. Do we all do this? Share some? When I hear the word 'math', without fail I think of a certain gesture my father used to do when he was thinking hard about something when I was younger. It's a strange, strange thing, the brain.

Also, I've been drinking for a solid 12 hours now and I've reached a sort of enlightened place, where I am floating. Scotch-heaven.
