I sincerely hope (and would pray if I happened to believe in it) that Saint Ted the Overly Holy, the Donald, pouty little Marco, Dr. Ben, and Carly have somebody hard-minded and eagle-eyed, like Mark Harmon, say, or Scott Bakula, to watch their sixes for them and shoot back.

Blame my journalistical dereliction, if you will, on a selfish, purely personal preoccupation. Last week, the 66-year-old gravity furnace in our otherwise cozy little 1949 tract home failed us and apparently can't be repaired for lack of parts. It was like a relative dying.

We found some nice folks to eject the old warp-core and install a new, technologically superior model without destroying us financially, and piggyback central air-conditioning on it so I don't have to take my usual summer "sabbatical" any more (I can't think when it gets much above 85 degrees).
