The Voice of Treason

I really was over the rainbow

I was a little off kilter before our road trip and I hadn’t been paying close attention to the news. On the morning of our departure I reached into a closet to grab a white Oxford shirt and discovered that ants were all over it. In fact, they were on everything. Fine, I thought, I’m on my way out of town and I’ve got a closet full of ants.

Made the decision to deal with them upon our return, shook out the shirt, and took off. On the trip I’d made a conscious effort to avoid cable news and The Kansas City Star, so I really didn’t hear about much beyond the John Mark Karr fiasco.

So when I woke up in the middle of the night and heard Shep Smith announce the release of Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, I felt bad that I’d been unaware of their abduction for what — well over a week? Days without access to news…it was almost as if I’d been abducted.

And I couldn’t make up my mind if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
