I’m taking a break from the probation officer story to say two things: 

1  I discovered Warren Zevon only relatively recently. Better late than never. I should have more to say about that, but: – 

2  I’m sick as a dog, though at least I’ve got the sense not to go back to my own vomit. I think it was oysters, though it could have been anything. Anyway, it was unpleasant.

I’ve put my clothes on and got up out of bed for the first time since Thursday, but my head still hurts too much for me to do any writing. 

Something like normal service will be resumed shortly.
