I had a few rough days this week, for no reason that I can discern. I was in a bad, bad funk and couldn’t break out of it. But all is well now, and for that I’m grateful.
As much as I love “The Departed,” I think I might need to wait awhile before I watch it again. Last night I dreamed that I was going bowling with Leonardo DiCaprio. And then there was a tiger chasing me through an abandoned house. I don’t know what happened to Leo.
