I am determined to survive whatver debris life throws my way with my sense of humor intact. I'm a 52 year old woman with disabling MS and, after trying to fight it out by myself, have recently moved into a nursing home. This is the story of my effort to get through life while living here. My one talent and redeeming trait is that I enjoy writing nonsense verse, which I will share with you. all entries © Deborah Taylor, 2010 All rights reserved

Non event
Apparently there was a minor earthquake in the DC area at about 5 AM. I got up at 6, it is now about 7, and for the last hour, the TV news has been full of nothing else. The problem is, once they say "Magnitude 3.6 Quake Shakes Washington Area", then they have nothing else to add, but yet they feel obliged to keep talking about it. They, of course, need to repeat that statement over and over all morning, because people tune in at different times, but we don't need to hear from a plethora of "men in the street" the details of whether or not they felt it and what they were doing at the time. But maybe I'm wrong... Maybe that is the sort of vital news that the average viewer is anxious to hear about.. Should I call in and report that I was awake but in bed and did not feel it at all. It seems like the kind of thing that Joe Krebs would want to know!
