---Should have expected not to be able to get to work as well as expected while in solitary confinement the days Amy was in Belgium. Instead I guess I just lazed around and read and listened to music, eating and sleeping haphazardly, usually in no fit state to get much of anything worthwhile accomplished, except in occasional fits and starts. Maybe now that she is back, I can turn over that perpetually needed new leaf. As always, I hope so.
---Experimented with copying and pasting email with graphic--the one from The Nation below, which seemed like about as worthy a cause as I can think of and worth my puny effort to relay. Bad as things might be in the world, without The Nation they would be even worse, especially the way the current mass-media and even mainstream newspapers have dropped the ball so often in getting to the bottom of things. Maybe the bottom is so low and wide they can’t even begin to gauge and plumb its depths, although they do seem to be able to find lows in other areas--petty celebrity, petty crime, petty sleaze, ad nauseum.
