Sometimes people are laid low.

After a few days of post-completion slump, following turning in my ms, I am feeling up again, but I relish people who know that life is most definitely not all sunshine and moonbeams.

And who retain a sense of absurdity alongside that knowledge.

Like Tove Jansson, Finnish creator of the Moomin:

"He made it through the night but would rather eat his hat
        For breakfast everyday than spend another night like that."

--For Momo
