Diaper-wearing stalker astronauts! Celebrity corpses awarded custody to six-month old babies! Judges weeping in courtrooms! Pop singers shaving their heads while checking in and out of rehab! Airline passengers trapped on blizzard stranded planes for 11 hours! Canine scrotums striking terror in the hearts of school librarians! I guess there must be something to this whole Mercury in Retrograde business in which everything goes wacky for three weeks. Come to think of it, my computer was acting oddly yesterday. Therefore I don’t plan to sign a contract, buy a car, or get married until March 8 when Mercury’s malevolent  influence on our lives eases up. Ah, but then we have the Ides of March to look foward to.
