sisyphusshrugged | aw, fudge.

I've had such a lovely weekend away, meeting people and cleaning house and drinking wine and howling Beatles songs in the back yard.

Only now it's Monday and there are spambots and Our Fearless Leader is still a jerk and the governor of California is a newer and bluer meanie and, well, all the stuff that was wrong on Thursday is pretty much still wrong.

Only I spent the weekend with some good people.

Depending how you want to look at it, good people are

-- the highest achievement of evolution
-- a reason to believe that one's higher power of choice does some things right
-- a triumph of hope over reason
-- great good fun and a fine thing to spend the weekend with

I can live with pretty much any of those.

Thanks.
