It's winter here, the days short, so we're kind of depressed.
But it's a particularly mild winter and we're not sure if we
should be pleased or worried, so we're kind of depressed that
we can't just enjoy it. Maybe we should do something about
it, like shoot the weatherman, but he's a nice guy, just
doing his job. We're not sure whether that's indecision due
to depression or depression due to indecision, only that the
question itself is depressing. We'd go to Florida for a week
of pick-me-up, but the loonie's too low and I don't have to
tell you how we feel about that.
Then some guy in the sun accuses us of all looking
alike.
