* I was exhausted Friday and went to bed before Midnight. Unfortunately, this was presaging a massive freak out on the part of my body. I'm leaning toward pathogen at this point. The result was that Tavy and I spent all night and all day in bed except for necessary trips. I was well enough for crackers around 9PM, finally, but I'm metaphorically pasted together with duct tape and bailing wire. This may have a negative effect on postings.

* Killjoys: I have a lot of complex thoughts and feelings about this episode, but I am 100% glad someone finally correctly identified the way Dutch was raised as Child Abuse. It is, and it's also a little less obvious than the more conventional abuse the Jaqobis brothers experienced. Dutch may not be ready to hear it yet, but it's something she will need to deal with down the road.
