Ygad!  What a week.
A colleague died...forty, heart attack, boum.
A young kid who attended the same school I did, dead, under water, bottom of a 
quarry.
Trump was Trump.
Twittering.
Some people celebrated the Trumpeting, the Trumpetry, whatever you want to call 
it..
Then came the bombing in Berlin.
Ygad! Generalized Anxiety Disorder,
with a capital why?
Ygad is short for:
You Guys Are Dorks.
But who is on the bitter end?
Who is not a dork?
"Only connect”? The man must be turning in his grave!
And the phone goes,
"Your call is valuable to us.
We are experiencing an unusual volume.
Stay on the line, and your prayers will be answered in the order they were 
received.”
