My husband thinks I'm addicted. Personally, I think it's reasonable behavior. For the last nine years I have been looking over my shoulder, literally, at the television. I don't watch just any old thing. I watch news. I need news. No, not like a drunk needs a drink, but more like a driver needs a steering wheel. I have a sneaking suspicion that when I'm not watching, something big is going down without me. Like the twin towers. Like the pentagon. I don't think I've been traumatized or even terrorized like those in New York and D.C no doubt were, but I have been awakened, and I don't think I'll ever sleep quite as deeply again. So, when an eye-opening election rocks the political world, when a dirty deal is struck behind closed doors in the White House, when the price of food or gas soars or takes a dive, I want to know who's in control of the airplane, and where it's going to land. Yeah, I think I'll just keep my eye on that tube. Love, Lori
