*Chases away the bitin' bugs and the stressful weeks*

I am terribly sorry that you have been having a rough time :(. Make sure to bask in as much Clooney as possible. O Brother always makes me deeply happy, no matter what's going on in my life, and I think the music plays a big part in that.

I can see how strangers would pour their hearts out to you. You have a sensitive, understanding nature, and it comes across loud 'n clear. I have found myself on the receiving end of some...interesting stories, and I know it's not always the most comfortable place to be. Whenever a student or parent tells me about his/her drug problem, sexual issue, time in prison, or other mishap, I start wishing I could disappear into the ground!

Here's to a more peaceful Mabon for all of us...
