So Bush has taken responsibilty for the utter lack of assistance to people in NO post Katrina. I’d like to think he means it but I can’t help thinking he is about as genuine as a little kid who when forced to apologize for bopping his buddy on the head with a Tonka truck crosses his little arms, looks at the ground, stomps his foot and says, “So-REY!” Better than nothing, though.

I ran 3.1 miles this AM in 30:40 which is very good for me. I am finally going to take my car to my mechanic for an overdue tune up and some repairs (it makes an ominous scraping/squeaking sound) and I’m going to take care of a few other things I’ve let go forever. Yea me.

NO is in recovery mode and so am I.
