I am writing this under duress. My brother the lawyer says duress is the wrong word, because it implies threats or illegal coercion, and he hasn't exactly put a gun to my head and forved me to sit at the computer. He has, however, suggested that the acts of recording the events of the last few months might help them from a cohesive whole and make sense. I'm not sure they can ever be understood in terms of human reason. This is the first couple paragraphs. :-)
