Will there be a race to the finishing line?
As soon as we think that we are nearing the end of the race, someone always moves the finishing line.
Addressing that problem was germane to ensuring that some projects stood a real chance of making it to the finishing line.
Sometimes the horses that we have backed economically do not even get to the starting gate, let alone the finishing line.
This proposal should be the starting rather than the finishing line though, since the objectives go far beyond the creation of an interinstitutional group.
I hope that this procedure, so close to the finishing line, will have a satisfactory outcome.
However, it looks very much as if the goal posts are being moved each time, so that we will never reach the finishing line.
We are approaching the finishing line and are noticing that quite a few of us are becoming nervous.
