You leave town, your Internet connection goes wonky and you feel as though you've been on another planet: Will I ever catch up? What's going on in the world?
A glance at memeorandum, however, reveals that I've missed nothing. Hurricane Katrina, continues to dominate the headlines. The Roberts confirmation hearings drag on. Anti-war activists continue their ad hominem attacks and the pro-war contingent fights back. "Insurgents" continue killing innocent Iraqis.
I feel like a time traveler who leaves the world, experiences a lifetime's worth of adventures and returns to find that no time has passed.
