If there is anyone confused about what the hell is going on with the economy, I am posting an episode of This American Life where they explain pretty much everything.
I think I have mentioned the air in Norway before.
When Deb was pregnant with Natalie and she left Buffalo, for Norway, I came to visit a few times. Each time I came I lost weight. I also slept very deeply. It took me a few months to figure out it was the air. There is something about this place that makes the air like a drug. When I told my doctor that I lost weight when I visited, he said it was, partly, because I slept so well.
I tried a little experiment a few weeks ago. I slept a whole week with the window shut. Then I slept a week with the window open a crack. I slept like a drugged baby when the window was open a crack. Needless to say, I leave it open a crack even when it is arctic cold outside.
I have searched on for other people who have written about it. Nothing.
Does anyone know anything about this?
There was a time when writing came so easy for me. It seemed like anything I wrote about was worth writing about. As much as I try, now, I am fighting for every word. That’s why I am here now. I can’t imagine this happening to someone who writes for a living. It must be a nightmare when your source of income dries up. Every word you read here has been written, erased and rewritten.
Obama has been bouncing around in my brain a lot lately. One thing I joked about, in my last post, was all the expectations so many have for him. We’re all very aware of the problems the US faces now. I really think the majority of the country thinks this all will be fixed quickly. I have a feeling there will be a lot of disappointed people.
