Ohmygosh. One of my friends just sent me a link to my horoscope for the week, and added this prologue:

“Rob Brezny [apparently] read your blog this morning and used it to formulate a horoscope for Libra this week. I thought you should at least know that he was stealing from your life to inspire the world.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Have you ever heard of the First Law of Holes?
It says that if you get in a hole, you should stop digging. Please obey that law in the coming week, Libra. Once you realize there’s no other place to go but down (if you continue your course of action), nothing–not even your pride–should keep you committed to that course.
Now here’s the Second Law of Holes: If you are able to scramble up out of the hole before it gets too deep, you should then spend some time filling it in so that you don’t fall into it, when you come back that way in the dark.

Wow. . .that was just what I needed to hear. Er, read. Thank you for that, S. Your points and Rob’s are well taken, and very much appreciated.
