An Explanation

I’ve been out of it lately. I was sick all weekend and now my house is so messy I don’t want to deal with it. I’m trying to work from home, but I’m finding myself going stir crazy. And when I’m not looking for some place to go I’m glued to the TV watching the Hurricane Katrina coverage. This morning when I woke up I was determined to go there and do what I could to help. After all, I have the time, and I could easily buy ticket and fly out there. But when I checked into it, it was pretty clear they need money a lot more than they need more bodies in the way. I just feel so bad for those people in the Superdome - and all the people in the gulf states.

Somehow nothing in the local news seems significant these days.
