Abe L. asks: “Is there a cure for cabin fever? I’m down with it big time.”

Ask Red says: Can’t help you, bro. I have the Ebola strain of CF. It’s so bad that when the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated hit the mailbox I was more interested in looking at beaches and blue skies than I was pictures of hot-buttered bikini babes. All I can tell you to be strong, my man, lest you wind up like Jack Torrance. Remember him in The Shining? “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy,” he uttered before trying to hack his family to pieces with an ax. Homer Simpson had the same affliction in The Shinnin. “No beer and no TV make Homer go crazy.” A lot of folks fight the winter blues by finding a diversion but about the only thing going on in these parts are bowling leagues. If you are like me, though, I’d rather go Paul Bunyan on someone than wear one of those shirts with your name embroidered on it.
