OK, so the latest monthly Huff Report is out, but because of a problem with Blogger, I can't upload it here yet. (Yes, I still use Blogger for the monthly Report. I haven't gotten around to transfering the page into MT, and I'm not going to do it right now. Because I have other things to do.) So you'll just have to wait. [Update: Blogger's fixed, the Report's up.]

Besides getting the Huff Report done, I spent a good amount of time on the phone with two friends in the process of breaking up. Breaking up is hard to do (I dare you not to get that song stuck in your head), especially if you've been together for five years and spent the last four onn the verge of breaking up. That last severance becomes harder with every passing day, till it seems like you're bonded to the other like Siamese twins. No matter how hard you try to separate, you can't get away.
It's painful and hard just to watch, let alone participate, and it's difficult to stay neutral and not get dragged in. Whenever I can, I say "I understand why you feel that way," and I do. But it's a sentiment that really doesn't help the situation, other than to maintain a distanced sympathy, and I doubt it's believed to be genuine.
