Today was sunny and warm and lovely here in Boulder, but I nevertheless found myself struggling under a very low mood, and while there's probably a solid explanation for it and within that explanation some strong suggestions for some short-term changes I should make in my approach to things, I am instead entertaining this thought: "What if I am under this very low mood because I have been watching so much of the French Open, and over the course of this tournament Paris has been suffering through some very oppressive skies?"
"Gay Paris?" I laugh, bitterly. "More like dismal Paris."
