Ever have one of those "I'm mad as hell and I'm going to shriek at
everyone about how mad I am" months? The last month included a trip
to the psych ward after one of those cry-for-help-with-a-razor-blade
incidents (not by me), and the first thing out the mouth of The Man is
about how my attire is inappropriate. And he smiled as he said it.
It makes you wonder.

I think it's finally over, though...but the really funny part is, it's
amazing how a mother can emotionally torment a child, but no one takes
it seriously. I feel a bit like those parents I've read about whose
children have been murdered--you just want to know why it happened, to
make some sense out of something of which sense cannot be made.
Except to say, all that matters in the eyes of the law is one thing:
The number of digits on you tax return. All the rest is pure
bullshit.

LOL. I'm too busy with my Save Roman Polanski fund raising site right
now (it's to keep him from making any more movies).

Sorry, but whatever else is going on, you still need to wear pants.

Oh dear, genuine emotion makes us feel uncomfortable here - we're
British - but good luck to you anyway.

I was quite looking forward to THE GHOST. Good book. And it's
probably ALL TRUE.

You were wearing the sock again, weren't you?
