Some are wonderin' if this land's still made for you and me.

Fall 2004:

I ran five or more miles every day.

I counted down the weeks left of high school; I couldn't wait to be in college.

I feared that George W. Bush would be reelected.

But mostly, I was hopeful.


Fall 2008:

I run two or more miles a couple times a week.

I don't know what will happen after this year, and I don't think about it much.

I KNOW George W. Bush will not be reelected.

But mostly, I am scared.
