When we last left our hero, he was brimming with optimism—the hope of a
pleasant vacation to recharge the proverbial batteries and reboot the
proverbial operating system on the horizon. (Is it obvious I recently had to
take my computer to the Apple Store?) Alas, this happy ending was not in the
cards…
That’s right. After writing about how low I had fallen during the fall,
and writing about how optimistic I was going into the winter, I found myself
crestfallen, perhaps lower and more downtrodden than ever before.
Why?
Well, I thought you’d never ask.
