Today my friend Eric, who keeps us all laughing so much at boot camp [in between the hellish steps and planks], taught me a new phrase. I was telling him how I was in a bad mood and he said his college friend refers to "shaking the blue devil"--coming out of a dark mood. I just looked up blue devil in the online dictionary and it says a feeling of depression; despondency. I like it.
Truman Capote's Holly Golightly referred to a case of the mean reds; I will now add blue devil to the bad mood/sad mood repertoire.
Good night, and thank you, Eric.
