Hmmmm. "Medicinal purposes." Yes. Yes.

Hey! Know what's irritating?

The rewriting.

I get this longish e-mail from WAW today about the Loh article -- "ya see this?" -- and when I say that FROM MY POV it sure sounds awfully familiar, it launches this virtual back-and-forth where the upshot is: What the fark am I talking about? I don't really hear her at all do I? Am I a mental case? That woman is NOTHING like WAW. Why, I must be getting divorced from some OTHER woman! That woman had her affair first! Not like WAW! Hers was second! See? This is the problem in a nutshell! It's always been the problem! I don't listen at all!

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm -- do I NOT have, like, 200 e-mails? Do I NOT have, like, a fairly good memory, especially of the past 18 weeks? Was I NOT in the room when you told me I "p*ssed it all away" and "threw it all away" and "abandoned" you and that Signore Schmuckatelli was just a "symptom" and not a "cause" and that "marriage is outmoded" and "19th-Century" and "too much work" and and and and and?

Or maybe this has allllllll been a dream. Maybe the S.S. Minnow never even left the harbor on that three-hour tour.....
