Ah yes, it is that time of year. The holidays are over, the cash and prizes are gone and it's back to work.It's cold, rainy, snowy, dark. Yes, my friends: the malaise has set in.

How does one counter the malaise? What could one do to defeat the malaise?

It's like a bitter wife who cannot stand the site of your face, and yet you have to live with her and there's not a thing you can do about it.  Some people will say it's seasonal affective disorder, but no. no, no.

It's the malaise ... the malaise for days.

Tis the season to not be jolly. Tis' to wallow in misery. Yes, the malaise is here. It's like "the nothing" from "The Never Ending Story."

The malaise ... it is upon us.
