More Vonnegut...

I've also been hearing a little of this Ant and the Grasshopper analogy for why we shouldn't have compassion for New Orleans' poor. I thought as long as Vonnegut was doing such a great job of explaining the nature of things, I'd let him have another go at it...again from "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

um...ok...

Let's see...Friday I'm driving back to school, Saturday's a housewarming for me and my two new roommates...Tuesday's probably going to be for moving all my stuff from storage into my new room. I guess that leaves tomorrow and Thursday for getting to know each other (the middle name's Franklin, corn chips and bananas (independently eaten) give me heartburn, I don't floss even though I know I should, and one of my favorite reads when I was little was The Monster at the End of This Book) and then I guess Sunday for the ceremony, followed by a Monday honeymoon which should leave you somewhere in the delta between Bewildered, Mildly Amused and Satisfied.

Somewhere in between all that you're going to have to meet my parents, decide if you like my friends, weigh all the ways I drive you nuts against all the ways I charm the socks off you, pick which of my things absolutely can't go into our new apartment, choose a side of the closet and figure out all the holes in our joint DVD/CD collection.

I'll be busy too...mainly reading and re-reading my copy of Panicking Without Vomiting: A Groom's Guide to Staving Off Anxiety Attacks that Will Otherwise Haunt Him Forever on VHS.

Good luck.

And congratulations.
