What, Me Worry?

Recently, one of those chain questionnaires has been doing the rounds of my playgroup friends. One of the questions asked, "what are you afraid of?" Answers have ranged from childhood terrors like big dogs and thunderstorms to more adult worries like being able to provide for a family. Not surprisingly, death topped most of the answers, including mine. But in attempt to distract everyone from these real worries, I'm sending a link to an article in the NYTimes about 10 things NOT to worry about, inlcuding BPA, plastic bags, and Arctic ice. Now, while I believe a few of these still merit considerable attention, it was good to be entertained for a bit. Besides, I'm not sure I'm that worried about shark attacks.
