a modern sorrow

    '... I threw my first post-divorce shindig.  It was, in 
    the words of my late mother, a "real hoot"... '

    I was the one recently mocking the Sorrows of 
    our contemporary Werther.

    But from the burnt out planet of an old man like 
    me this seems the saddest communication of all.
    Especially from a chap who - & I hope I'm not 
    misquoting here - recently referred to himself 
    as being still in his twenties & the father of children?
