Musings on how Doctor Who brought two guys into a friendship that has lasted a decade and how it affects our daily lives and our relationship with each other.

Patrolled by Happiness
Michael
So, even though this was a tough weekend, I was able to spend a short time with you and we were able to watch a bit of Doctor Who. I guess its sort of ironic, or maybe it was planned, that we ended up watching The Happiness Patrol.
I had to deal with a bunch of crap that was frustrating and irritating and you have had a really tough week and are not necessarily at your best either.
So, we pick a story that shows the Doctor and Ace landing on a planet where Happiness is enforced under penalty of death. In a change of pace, the Doctor is fighting to allow the populace the chance at being miserable, unhappy, sad or depressed.
Ha! apparently he had already gotten to un-oppress us and give us that option.
It was comforting to know that getting breakfast, albeit a late one, and then going back to your apt to just sit in front of the tv and watch an episode of Who together was what I needed at that time.
Sitting on your sleep inducing couch, occasionally conversing about what was happening on the screen, was a great way to end the weekend before the drive back to the Cape.
Thank you
Bill
