leaving for the airport in forty minutes and will be incommunicado for one week. hapy to be going south, happy to be seeing my family, happy that its christmastime once again. it has, however, been a really tough day for me. partly my fault – for the twenty-fourth consecutive year i have grossly overestimated the nubmer of things that i will be able to do in the month of december – and partly the fault of either other people or the society in which we live. the summary: it turns out there are a whole bunch of things that i do not have the mental capability to cope with. whole genres of crises that i can recognize, classify, and realize that something needs to be done – and not the least bit of ability to decide what that something is. i suppose i will have to read up on it, probably in a book titled “101 things you never realized you had to worry about” or something. and i’m sure the root of the problem is that i am painfully and comprehensively fatigued. and while im on the subject (ok, admittedly i was not on the subject. but hell, i am now) there were actually some great things that happened this weekend. not too much time to go into detail except for this cryptic but telling message:

Yes, I am going to mail you your pillow.

A merry christmas to friends, family, and assorted passersby. See you next saturday.
