A home is not a mere transient shelter: its essence lies in the personalities of the people who live in it.

H. L. Mencken

Things are grim in the bunker. Dirty water, bad coffee, OJ Simpson is back in the news, and I couldn't be feeling any worse than I am. Ordinarily, I'm in agreement with TS Eliot, however I have to digress, November is indeed the cruelest month, not April. This vicious, unpleasant weather is taking it's toll on my psyche.

My erratic sleep patterns, the unsatisfying coffee in the morning, and all this damn talk about banning smoking on the patios is causing a severe twitch in my left eye which is starting to frighten small children and dogs on the street.
