Every time I return to the Saratoga nest, I am reminded of the movie Shock Corridor. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do it.
It's a pulp film from the 1950's directed by Sam Fuller. It's a bout a reporter who goes undercover at a mental institution to find out how a patient was murdered. The reporter feigns mental illness a bit too believably so he is subjected to all sorts of procedures including electro shock in order to cure him. Plus, all the instability in the minds of the people around him are starting to wear on him.
That's the part that gets me. The instability that is eroding the reporters own stability.
There is a lot of instability here in Saratoga. For two weeks, I told my parents I was coming. I asked my sister to verify that they knew I was coming. She said they knew.
The first words out of my father's mouth were 'I didn't expect you'
Eroding.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
