2016 simply will not quit. Worst. Year. Ever.
The things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything.

Sad news to hear! I really liked Watership Down, and I've re-read it many times. It's responsible for two of my favorite exclamations: "Frith up a tree" and "Frith in a fog." I can't count the number of times I've used one of them, then had to explain where it came from, and what it meant in the book.

As Hazel might put it...
