"Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy."  -Leo Buscaglia
(Or someone else.  I've seen this quote attributed to a number of people online...but I like Leo best of all the people who may or may not have said it.)

     I've been noticing how much fear there is lately.  It seems to be lurking around every corner, in a million internet stories, smeared all over newsstands, and woven into a large percentage of the conversations I hear.  It's on people's faces as they board my flights (and even more so in the faces I can't see because they've got surgical masks on.)
