What luxury to get mad about last night's basketball loss and watch the full moon descending at the speed the earth turns. Things could get worse personally and for the community. Bombings, killings, anomie boiling frogs and witches cursing. The changing climate, typhoons in the Philippines, volcanoes and tsunamis, WWII which I missed, Thanksgiving nor'easter, Easter twister. What abundance to fast or feast, your choice, stay inside by the stove or go outside, climb the mountainside. Live in a city or small town. So I raged at the coaches for their lazy zone defense like an alien in the bleachers unable to affect the outcome. When my sons came home I yelled at them too. What opulence to be angry about nothing of consequence neither stopped by the cops nor slipped on the ice.
