Rob, old friend, is there a quick cure? And thanks for your very kind comment on my "Riot #2" post, which is a long-ish post and most people don't have the patience. I'm flattered. Really.
Only the wise can create wisdom, but anybody can steal it. So here it is.
“The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
— T.H. White, The Once and Future King
True.

Along with all the other very sensible suggestions you provided, maybe I oughta just go get smashed in the good old-fashioned way, eh? Mayhap and perchance, that'll loosen the block -- among other things.
One of my drinking buddies is back in town and this Saturday evening promises to be good and hazy.
He who said that alchohol is not the solution to your problems was obviously not familiar with 150 proof Bacardi.
