Sounds like you've definitely had a time of it lately. I'm so happy for you guys that they caught it when they did, and that the future prospects are looking good!
Ooos, you must post picture of your garden now! You can't say things like that and not share.
Heh, I'm also enjoying the more miserable House. Happy House was nice for a bit, then it got weird, so I'm glad he's back. Plus, I think Hugh really does his best work when House is miserable.
"Those who are weary of the character constantly striving and struggling for his brief victories" - I've been listening to this British radio series called "Ed Reardon's Week" for a good few years now. In the best tradition of British series it is exactly about this kind of thing, every episode this character Ed is trying to make some money (he's a washed up has-been author), every week he comes so close and then fails miserably. And every week I love it for the wit and spontaneity of the script.
There's another older British tv series called Reginald Perrin. Same thing about this guy who is trying to break out of his very fixed little world and can't. Then in the very last episode he walked into the sea and killed himself by walking into the sea and that was the last shot.
Though now I'm making British TV sound depressing, but I think of Reginald Perrin because it is a sort of natural conclusion to this kind of thing. Other than "his luck changes and the world changes", what else can there be? How many ways can the end the series otherwise?
House and Ball-y cycle off into the sunset on a tandem bicycle?
