Well, it looks like the Connecticut Malaise is going national -- and even our friends on the left side of the aisle are noticing. Oh, now they tell us.

Rainy day here at Berea-Rose. Temps started out mild but then fell throughout the day. We got out the slot car set and made a huge track across the living room floor. Even built in a loop-de-loop, just like in that Gorillaz video.

Mixed myself a pina colada tonight. Called Steve to tell him. Wanted to hear him sing reflexively. Had to leave a voicemail. Foiled again.
