"In the Doldrums'

To say, ~ am in the doldrums" sig
nifies that one is "in the dumps" or
is depressed. 1t was originally term
of the seas. The word, "doldrums" re-
fers to the shifting zone of equatorial

trade winds. The weather is hot,
moist and extremely dispiriting with
heavy and frequent rainfall usually
accompanied by thunderstorms. In the
old days, sailing vessels sometimes
laid by helplessly becalmed for weeks
with the crews 'in the doldrums."-
