The opiate of the people

The opiate of the masses . . . maybe it used to be religion. If my own getting through on automatic pilot existence is any indication however, I think Television is now the numbing/albeit not too happy making - drug of choice.

I'm actually trying to induce a good cry lately, but mostly I'm getting numb.

Now I'm up with a wicked case of insomnia.

It is Labor Day weekend, and again I have the feeling that we are all letting the holidays go by with just a little fanfare. No parties, just having mom over for a bbq and going to the pool.

Maybe Ill get mom to come along for a visit to meet her nieces grand baby . . . what would that be in the second cousin twice removed category? Anyhow, Roberta is going through a similar bout of hanging in there.

The girls are swimming, Caitlin is doing karate, abi is doing speech and tutoring - we are kind of girl scouting, and I am about to start working out 2 hours a day to get myself out of the doldrums. Oh, fall break starts tomorrow - 3 weeks off, planning to see King tut, Pikes peak train, Royal Gorge? and Kansas City for the week.

So, why not try going back to be now? Excellent suggestion. Good night!
