Shaken, Not Stirred

Sometimes it takes an earthquake to get me out of bed--Saturday, for example. But it was a little too far off to be really frightening; it didn't really stir me. Later in the week however, I talked with a friend who experienced a shock that killed thousands, in a place no more earthquake-prone than the Adirondacks. Saturday was very hard on her nerves. I'll be a little more stirred, next time I'm shaken.
