Is it possible for something to be <strong>positively dreary</strong>? That just sounds contradictory. Not as blatantly contradictory as, for example, "corporate ethics" I suppose; but still, it seems odd to pair the word "positive" with the negative connotations of "dreary." The important thing though is that tomorrow will be a longer (and thus brighter) day. WooHoo! Throw in a head cold (trying to become a chest cold) and the past few days have been positively dreary.
