AS THE WORLD TURNS - WITHOUT MY HELP
Ashamed and amazed:

I have not watched any TV or even listened to a radio news report since February 20, and yet . . . the world continues to function without my constant attention to it.

Embarrassed to admit my complete disinterest in favor of music and dancing these days, I am tickled to watch the rest of you pushing the earth around its axis and prodding it on its way around the sun.

Do you really think you are participating in the process just by focusing on it so intently?

What you really seek is some iota of control over the uncontrollable.

I understand that.

By having some effect on our environment, we maintain our sanity.

Right now, I choose to remain one crazy dancin' fool having the time of my life.  Thank all of you for paying attention to the important stuff. 

Let me know how it ends, okay?
