Yes, dear reader, I know that I've been gone for a while here - I've moved across the great expanse that is the American landscape and landed in the middle of the country in a house that is, like a fine cheese, well-aged.
It would seem as well that what I thought might be a reaction to fleas or poison ivy is, in all likelihood, rather a reaction to an allergen that is simply present in the home. I add to my dilemma the fact that the home in question is located about 20 miles away from anything of interest (other than a Denny's, Dunkin Donut, or liquor store - now that I think about it, what else does one really need?!?).
Regardless, the fact remains that this city-boy does not thrive well in a country environment. I was informed by Mrs. Jack that I needn't lock the doors to the car as there is little worry of a band of raccoons stealing my car - but I know, as I'm sure you do, that those raccoons are a wily bunch capable of anything if they simply stand on each others shoulders and wear a long trench. Besides, the only thing that differs between raccoons and us are a few million years of evolution. They have opposable thumbs people!!I mean look at this prime example of raccoon bastardry.This is how it starts - cute and cuddly - but then they get mean. Real mean.
Hey, if you're a jackball, point your opposable thumb at yourself!! There. See?!?!?
Well, I hope that my long absence hasn't dissuaded you from following my rantings. I admit it - I've been a jackball for being gone so long. There I said it.
Your thoughts?
