A DC Madam hangs herself. Roger Clemens is in the middle of two scandals (his steroid use AND a 17-year affair with a country star that started when she was 15). A cyclone in Myanmar kills tens of thousands. The dollar has dropped and oil is $120+/barrel. It's election year 2008!
I've been keeping the TV off - turned off my regular downloads of The Daily Show and started ignoring the paper that's in my driveway. The sea of information is overwhelming me and all I want to do is get my kid to stop crying when his next molar or eye tooth pops through.
We're setting up for another Drought Summer in California. We haven't had a round of drought in over 15 years - I guess we were due. Drought summers are gross and depressing - something that works well for what I want to address in my novel. The weather system prevents any major moisture from dropping on us - at the same time the temperatures never get that high and we cruise through to September with chilly mornings and dank, cool evenings. I always feel cheated by a drought summer - it robs us of so many quintessential experiences that summer is supposed to be about.
