And Here It Is, Monday

      Yesirree, it's Monday, all right -- cold rain and all.  It could probably be even more Monday, but this will do.

      I'm still haunted by a milder version of the same headache that dogged me all weekend.  I'm six months overdue for an eye exam and it's starting to be obvious that I should get new lenses, so perhaps that's part of it.  I kept putting off the appointment, waiting for things to return to normal.  Instead, things are getting farther away from normal, and I am beginning to think I'd better act now, before it gets any worse.

      Might as well get a good view of the mess.
