Post-dramatic stress disorder

Yes, you read correctly: post-dramatic stress disorder.

2004 has been an intense year for your humble correspondent, and the spectre of lawyers swarming the peaceful countryside like locusts on Nov. 3 just raises the drama quotient that much higher.

Is it just me, or is everyone about ready to crawl into a hole with a six-pack and a pillow and not emerge until St. Patrick's Day?

Thank goodness for the guys at JibJab.
