Lately I have the attention span of a flea on a hot tin roof, but I just wanted to mention that the Globe and Mail is doing a series this week (it actually started last Friday) called Breakdown: Canada’s Mental Health Crisis. I haven’t been looking at the web site, and I’ve actually been buying the newspaper every day but I’ve only been giving the articles a cursory glance. I’ve got to sit down sometime and check it all out.

Heyyy, that is a great typo on the front page of the Breakdown site: “biopolar disorder.” Nice.

Often I think of my life as being described by (an extremely simplified version of) the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The level of chaos always tends to increase. Lately, it’s more like Newton’s First Law of Motion, where a body in motion tends to stay in motion and a body at rest tends to stay at rest. I either spend my time running around like a chicken with its head cut off or sitting around not doing much of anything. Today, it was not doing much of anything. It was yesterday, too. Ah, inertia. Ah, crappy similes.
