Buzzy, thanks for pointing that out…that was no throwaway line about turning fishes gay. Anti-depressants in our waters are wreaking havoc on male fish and amphibians. The little creatures are developing egg-sacs and their wee testes are suffering from shrinkage. Just another horrific side effect!

Very funny… “Pru-zac” Just a side note for the environment and the little fishies, no more flushing meds down the toilet. Especially if you live near water!

Cathy, thank you confirming that it’s not just me. I cannot read more than two pages of A New Earth without nodding off. So, instead of trying to find some deeper meaning in this phenomenon (like, “am I THAT shallow?”), I’ve decided to use the book for what it does best–as a nightcap for melatonin. Pop one 500mg Trader Joe-brand melatonin before bed, prop yourself up with Eckhart Tolle’s tome, and before you can say, “humans-are-on-the-verge-of-creating-a-new- world-through-personal-transformation,” voila! A sleep so restful that you don’t even get up to pee. Now, that IS a new world.

I laughed so hard, I thought, who needs Prozac when we’ve got “Pru-zac!”

First of all, some people genuinely benefit from pharmaceuticals for depression, anxiety and a cornucopia of neurological ailments. In the old days, people like that either went nuts, were placed in asylums, got lobotomies or became artists like lets say Edgar Allen Poe or Vincent Van Gogh. It’s a good thing that prozac or Eckhart Tolle weren’t around or we wouldn’t have “The Tell Tell Heart” or “Starry, Starry Night.” That said…I was wondering how the hell you got through that chinless idiot and many, many challenges you’ve had. I guess we all come out on “the other side” — wherever that is! Highly appropriate piece of writing for such a hopeful, depressing totally weird period in global history. Wish we could all take Prozac and make it better.
