I was going to write another serious blog today, but then I figured I've been talking too much lately about issues, both social and personal. And who wants that? (But don't worry, before you know it, it'll be baseball season again, and it'll be all Red Sox all the time in here again until you all beg for mercy.) So, instead, just a couple minor points:
1.) Deadwood, season 3, has worked its way up to the top of my Netflix queue, and I started watching it last night. Just giving you fair warning in case the word "cocksucker" starts appearing in here with some frequency.
2.) Did you ever notice how easy it is to fall into supporting or even encouraging other people's comfortable, yet somewhat dysfunctional, behavioral or emotional patterns, unwittingly or not? I've noticed myself doing it with someone recently, while at the same time a third person is doing it to me. People are funny. Life is funny. And "wittingly" totally ought to be a word. Oh, wait, according to spellcheck, it is. Okay, it totally ought to be a word that's used more than it is.

But I had to read that entry over ten times before I saw where I used it. :-)
I don't know if Websters is helping... We still don't know if you're talking about *us*.
I guess it's a testament to how universal and recognizable a phenonmenon this is, because you can toss off a comment with no specifics and have all your friends write and say, "Wait! Are you talking about..." :-) Everyone wants to slot themselves in as either the enabler or the enabled. :-)
Do we *want to*, or are we just compelled anyway?
If I get to pick, I'd like to be enabled.
Another good thing about being the paranoid product of a dysfunctional family: you don't need reassurance on this point, since you *know* it's all meant to be aimed at you. If you're properly shrunk, you don't mind.
hahaha
If any of you would like to be enabled in any of your "somewhat" dysfunctional patterns (which I'm sure you don't have), please let me know. I'll see what I can do.
