I put off replying to this until I had surgery earlier today - recurrence of bladder cancer, but it’s all good, see [In Which Trep Goes To Hospital. A Lot. (Slight Return)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-which-trep-goes-to-hospital-a-lot-slight-return/1009888). The idea of weeping for needed catharsis was beautifully expressed, and I’m pretty sure I did this a little while after my first cancer surgery nearly five years ago. Sometimes it is simply the best thing you can do. Oh, and I’m whisky and Parsons. And That James Carr Song. But I don’t _think_ I need it at the moment.
