I was on a business trip last week, and I'm sure you all missed your weekly dose of poetry. This one is from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. He is sailing along the west coast of Africa, watching the jungles and beaches go by, wondering about the interior of the continent:

There it is before you—smiling, frowning, inviting, grand, mean, insipid, or savage, and always mute with an air of whispering, ‘Come and find out.’ 

For many of you the same type of unknowing surrounds Ultimate. This week's thaw coincides with our first Carboload and tournament. And the month of May will be full of the same. This is every Ultimate player's favorite time of year. Why?

'Come and find out.'
