"In retrospect, what I should have done five days ago was buy a case of Jameson, find the most conveniently-located boulder, crawl under it, and wait for this filthy disaster zone of a week to pass me by.

Any week that starts with a guy getting shot to death in Florida by a retired police captain for the crime of texting his daughter's babysitter during the previews in a movie theater is not going to be a good week.

I did not listen to my instincts, eschewed the boulder and the booze, and had to encompass one of the worst five-day stretches in America I can remember."

And then it gets better/worse.
