A Walking Disaster
I was away last year when Hurricane Katrina struck; I was stuck on a boat with a bunch of homosexuals having the time of my life. In hindsight, I feel kinda guilty.
Right before we left for the trip, the hurricane was approaching. We hung out for a few days in Barcelona before we boarded the boat. We watched CNN occasionally to get the latest info. The last we heard was the storm wasn't as bad as predicted.
Then we were gone.
The only thing we heard on the boat was that there was a lot of flooding, and Celine Dion cried on Larry King (This was a gay cruise after all). The distance from North America and the girth of Ira's suitcases pretty much insulated us from hearing much of anything.
As selfish as it sounds, I'm glad we were away. There's enough doom and gloom, and we all need to escape from it from time to time.
So HBO is showing a 4-hour documentary tonight and tomorrow night at 9pm. I'm going to watch it to see exactly what went down. The reviews have been extremely positive.
I wonder if there are any former employees of Enron named Katrina whose birthday is on September 11th, cuz that would really suck.
She'd be a walking disaster.

It was excellent. Sadly, I don't think many people saw it.
Who knew Soledad O'Brien was such a great interviewer.
