Life must go on, I guess

We are all so caught up in the Katrina disaster and its effects. Yet things must continue. On the national front, the death of William Rehnquist and the re-nomination of John Roberts to replace him as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court jolted me out of my Katrina fixation. The images and descriptions of the misery and destruction are captivating, but we must not allow this to be our only concern. I am proud of all those who are giving aid to the victims. I am also relieved that those who must are beginning to re-focus on their own tasks involved in keeping our country running. Many will be diverted to Katrina support, but not all of us can or should be.
