Melancholy is appropriate, under the circs — we just don’t want to have it cripple us. I admit my native level of low lying depression has a way of staining not just the present but the past and the future — and that’s just not healthy.

So turn off the tv starting Sunday, if not sooner, and let us adjourn to the imaginary DU party room. I’ll bring tortilla chips and homemade guacamole. Maybe some Sangria as well. Other people will show up as the word spreads.
