Sometimes life decides to throw you a curve ball. Other times, life decides to line up thousands of those scary automatic pitching machines and conduct a curve-ball massacre on you. Well, let me tell you, I am under siege, and things on the battle field really stink. Yes, yes, I know. You take the good with the bad, when you get lemons you make lemonade, and there's always a silver lining, plus all those other cliche sayings. Folks, I know everything happens for a reason, you've just got to find it. I really do. BUT - that doesn't mean that while it's happening, things aren't rotten!
As I'm sure you can infer, things in these parts of the woods aren't exactly peachy keen for the moment. Another fitting cliche: When it rains, it pours. Ah....but such is life. So while I'm trying to find my umbrella, and am dodging those nasty baseballs, I'll just make some lemonade (with vodka please!), and keep my eye out for that silver lining. Maybe I should get some binoculars....
