Boy, you and me both!  I am right now in the process of "pruning" my own
hydra.  I call it getting sucked into the vortex of community activism. Too
much time spent with too little effect and a lot of frustration.  I'm coming
to the point where I think I'd rather be working . . . or playing. I suppose
that is a cycle we all go through, if you care about things and want to help
make it (whatever "it" is) better.

Good luck with your hydra.
