OK - there's a trend here. Everybody's uninspired. This may be partial proof
of a theory I've had for quite some time. Some people believe dusty, ancient
writings which claim that we are different from and superior to other
animals. But, that's nonsense. I think we have a need to hibernate and turn
down our volume level at certain times of year. Obviously, appetite is
affected. It's not depression. It's normal. It also explains why certain
holidays have been artificially placed at the wrong time of year, when
people naturally have declining energy levels.
