Nice job, vf. And it's not a downer, it's part of life. Everyone will go through these emotions at some point.

Hang in there! You're doing the best you can.

Thanks. Fortuitiously, my season one DVDs of Justified have arrived, and I've been able to distract myself somewhat with Boyd and Raylan. Oh joy, just nine more days!
