I take so much joy in still not knowing what everyone’s talking about. Thanks for taking the psychological hit for me.

I think you’re right. I should go back and re-watch that just to exorcise my anger. :)

We’ve had the reverse here in Stratford. About 20cm two days ago, and about 5cm today with a melt between. We are always right on a streamer edge: blue sky one side, snow on the other. Either way, we get nailed. :)

I absolutely empathize with you. I live with it, too. Every day is a new challenge to overcome the darkness. Thanks to decades of therapy and some medical support I have some tools in my toolbox, but it’s always a struggle. You’re not alone.
