Back when I was a kid, we referred to the first day of school as Black Wednesday. I don’t have to go to school today (would that I did), but it is back to work. It’s a short week, but I see no more days off in my future until Columbus Day (yes, I will gladly accept that day off, but for me it will be a personal celebration of ‘Goodbye Columbus’).

Anyhow, yesterday was cold and crappy, and today is colder and crappier – supposed to rain, rain, rain. That should fit my mood quite well.

On the bright side, we have the Republican debate tonight. This seems odd, as it occurs to me that the election is over a year away. Does this mean we have to put up with this shit from now until then? I mean, it’s bad enough they had the Halloween shit out at the store this weekend.

If my head didn’t already hurt, I’d have an awful headache right about now.
