I called my younger sister Lucy many times when growing up, and the name did suit her on occasion (I being CB on those occasions). One of my favorites was a Sunday cartoon. In the next to last panel, Linus says, "You know, CB, that life has its ups and downs," and CB says in the last, "Gosh, I hope so." I have had cause to repeat that last line to myself many times. It helped pull me out just enough from feeling overwhelmed or set upon. A little laugh at my "drama" and then I can ackowledge, "This, too, shall pass." In the end for CB, things don't end glorious but with two-feet-on-the-ground peace and acceptance; it is not resignation but hope that keeps him going: "Maybe I'll get to kick that football this time."  Good eye, Ray.

On a different note, sorry, but "reality TV" is not my cup of tea. There is not a single one of them that I have briefly watched that has not left me just a tad sad.
