Re: Cheer me up. Metrorail sucks. Cost of living keeps getting higher. Rents are always getting raised. Traffic is horrible and getting worse. My wife is FAT. Miserable weather is only a few weeks away. My only escape is the Redskins and they SUCK!!!!!

Today at 10:21 AM was the autumnal equinox.
Set aside about 20 minutes, clear your mind, have your favorite drink near (or water or juice, whatever), and play Vivaldi's Autumn.
If you have more time, play all four seasons. Then remember, while you are listening, that today is the first day of Autumn. Autumn is beautiful in Fairfax. The leaves are turning. The critters know what to do.
The temperature today hit something like 88 degrees. Starting tomorrow, the days will be cooler, and the air will be more dry.
No matter who wins in November as President, our Nation will be okay. We will survive, and remain the greatest country in the world.
Finally, the main way to feel good is to help someone else who is in a lesser/poorer position than you. It's as simple as lending a pen. (In my case, it includes putting up numerous people in temporary need of housing; damn, that's gratifying to help them.)
(Extra Cheer-up exercise: Look at duckling rescues on Youtube.com.)
