The country is in a malaise

A girlfriend called me and apologized for not calling back last week but said she has been depressed – money, men, an injury, you know the drill. Right before she called I was speaking to a guy at my house who was bemoaning the city and his wife and the general state of things and if he were in California maybe things would be different. It’s not us – yes, we have Katrina – but the world has 9/11, tsunami, and Katrina on its mind as well as George Bush, Iraq, and the economy. No one knows what to do, what they should be doing, only that something should be done, by someone.
