   Extremely difficult day, yesterday.   
      
   And it suddenly hits me why elaborating that transforms a   
   useful statement of context for the rest of the post into   
   whining: it's because everyone already knows how difficult   
   life in this realm is - or can become quicker than a text   
   file gets posted. To detailing the difficulty of life   
   becomes "tl;dr" really quickly. May as well enumerate   
   the varieties of how shit stinks.   
      
   Of course, that paragraph wound up pretty boring anyway.   
      
   I'm trying to remember the last time internet content rose   
   above "same old, same old" grade.   
      
   Of course, this entire post is just more of that.   
      
   Interacting helps. But that almost always fizzles for   
   reasons we could enumerate and debate. But what would   
   that accomplish given what we really want is for   
   interactions not to fizzle in the first place,   
   and generally can't personally be other than   
   that which contributes to ultimate fizzle?   
      
   Today has started out beautifully. Discounting the physical   
   pain lingering from yesterday, the river is calm, the sun   
   over it is insanely beautiful, and some leftover frozen   
   homemade minestrone-ish soup was the perfect bio-system   
   jump start. I wish the silence of being the only one   
   awake in the house could last forever, but then I   
   know I don't really mean that because ennui.   
      
   I'm resolved to roll with today's punches!
