Don't Panic

I normally avoid headlines these days when I'm passing the news stand at the convenience store, but today's was just so compelling that I must share it with you here. Now, folks, don't get too excited about this. The G-8 is Taking Two Paths.

I realize I should be exhilarated, but instead I'm concerned. It confuses me. Eight countries, two paths. Doesn't that leave only four countries? Or does it double them to sixteen? And yet they still insist on being called G-8.

And seeing the G-8 in the news reminded me of how much I think of them every day - even when they're not in the news. I think of what kind of neckties they might be wearing there. I agonize over whether or not they will let in Turkmenistan - and if that brings it to G-9 or G-8 and 1/2. And if one of the countries has a Civil War, they might have to change the number, too. People think I don't care. I fucking care.
