Fame! Heh. Interesting overall post, but of course I'm caught up in my own little supporting role. In any case, something you said here AND in your post about your mom not knowing about Katrina reminded me of a movie in which (I never saw it, so this is something I am paraphrasing from an NPR description) the film-maker was asked to make a movie about the end of the world. And he did, but he focused on a man who had just lost his wife and was feeling upset and bitter that everyone was so freaked out about the pending asteroid (or whatever was going to wipe out the earth) that his own grief was minimized and forgotten. Our own worlds are the only worlds we have, though the edges that bound them ebb and flow in size. It sounds like yours are flowing outward right now. Mine have ebbed inward, but I feel the need for a shift in tide. Whoo! Fame! Heh. Interesting overall post, but of course I’m caught up in my own little supporting role.
