Rainbows, Kittens, Cotton Candy, and Unicorns 4 Ever!

SYNOPSIS: "Truth or illusion, George. Do you know the difference?" That's what Martha growls to poor old doormat-hubby George in Who's Afraid... Clink clink clink, my dear. And frankly, we can't tell anymore, either, from all that truth/illusion malarky. And with another year before us, we grow increasingly unsure. Still, that's why someone invented the Carpenters. Bliss, even if we know they didn't really mean it much longer than it took to run to the bank and deposit the check, then swing by the drugstore for a bag full of sister's little helper.
