I'm manic depressive: manic most of the time - lots of fun, actually - and I get occasional deep, chemical depressions: chills, gloom, lislessness, irritability. I recognize it, my wife recognizes it, so we treat it as if it were a cold or a sprained ankle or something, just a nuisance that will pass in a few days. Just keep the lizard on the leash.
But the immediate problem is that I just did a batch of Bananas Foster for dessert. I mixed up way too much of the rum+banana liqueur mixture and almost flambe'd the whole family, Uncle Billy and his filipino wife included. So the leftover mixture is sitting here next to the piece-o-crap Dell in a beaker, and you can't throw away good rum even if there Creme de Banan in it. Weird drink, I tell ya.
Am I still making sense?
