Costco is out of Kirkland Paper Towels and Kirkland Toilet Paper. This is not a good sign.
I feel like I'm in one of my "Don't look at the news too much" periods. I'm as concerned as you are about the disasters — political and environmental — and our inability to address, let alone solve any of them. I just don't have anything new or interesting to say on these topics. It's times like this I find myself quoting this great thing that Jim Henson once said…
At some point in my life, I decided, rightly or wrongly, that there are many situations in this life that I can't do much about — acts of terrorism, feelings of nationalistic prejudice, Cold War, etc. — so what I should do is concentrate on the situations that my energy can affect.
Smart man, that Jim Henson. I think I'll spend this weekend concentrating on the situations that my energy can affect.
Oh…and sleeping. I think I need to get more sleep.
