Alexx and I went out for a walk--it's currently 61 degrees here in Boston--and, as I stepped off the last step onto the front walk, Alexx said I had just stepped over two small garden snakes.

I turned my head to the heavens and thanked the goddesses and gods for kindly not turning me into a man because frankly, this week was hectic enough already.

For those that don't get that really bad mythological joke, you can Google Tiresias, who was a blind prophet and know-it-all who shows up everywhere in Greek myth and plays, and I do mean *everywhere*. Those ancient Greeks must have had an *amazing* para-transit system but, then, Hermes was probably the patron god of that, too.
