The paragraph that begins But then I have been in a foul mood for at least the last week is so very excellent, and so exactly describes my mood for the past week that I gasped when I read it. Bravo. (I almost wrote "Bravo, dear," which is the other part of my mood -- I want to say things that people have expressly told me not to say. What in hell's name? Foul moods are dangerous.)
