My mind reeled as I watched my bowling pal, Prometheus, playing with fire with the hoomins on New Year's eve -- wasn't it just a month ago that we were helping Sisyphus with his weekend landscaping project that has since turned into a bit of a chore?

The presents that were being passed out at the Christmas lunch of the Picayune Pessismists Glee Club were totally outrageous -- I have never begun a novel with more misgiving.

Buster and I barely made it to the docks as we desperately tried to escape the Menace of The Encroaching Fruity Vines that doggedly (ha!) chased after us but, lo!, all of the doors to the yachts were locked tight and so we acquired bludgeons with which to open them -- so we beat on boats against the currant.

"Hey, it's The Lounge", I said to the young lady in the umbrella with frogs reigning from the torrent above her as she inquired as to the currant state of my sanity.

Hugo was late for breakfast this morning as Vera had not marked his socks with "left" and "right" tags as she had in the past.

I love that, as it reminds me of the old Batman series on television during the 60s.

What really would have happened if those two poles had not been marked with their names? -- Didn't the poles lead to the same place?
