To paraphrase one of Amy Gerstler's poems, this week will taste like cough syrup. Sorry to have to report that, Gemini. But on the other hand, the bitter flavor will be offset by a sweet aftertaste that's lent to the mix by a secret ingredient I'm not yet at liberty to divulge. And the unpleasantness of the medicine going down will be even more compensated for by the tonic effects that will begin rippling through your life as early as next week.
How odd. That could have been my last week, or at least the end of it.
Well, there's time yet for this week to get worse. So far, it's picked up remarkably much in the last, oh, 36 hours, and didn't even start off all that badly.
It's about time to get laundry and dishes done, but that's a small problem in the grand scheme of things. The big problems all got dealt with today or earlier.

It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else"
