Dear Scorpio, I found a prayer floating around the Web that
should be particularly helpful for you in the coming days. It has
been slightly altered from its original version as a 12-step
affirmation. Here goes: "O God, grant me the serenity to accept
the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I
cannot accept, and the wisdom to pull hilarious pranks on
everyone who pisses me off. Help me to be careful of the toes I
step on today, as they may be connected to an ass that I have
to kiss tomorrow."
