I spent far too much of 2024 following the news and took a much needed break a couple of months ago. A total blackout on television and almost nothing leaks through online. My mood has noticeably improved.
I’ve reached the stage of life — philosophically, geographically, and financially — where very little that happens in the world touches my life in any meaningful way. (Yes, I know, good for you, Steve.)
Bottom line: I’m much happier not following world (or local for that matter) events. Not knowing, if you will. And it turns out, if there is anything I really need to know, someone will call or text me: “Have you heard?” Hasn’t happened yet.
I long ago abandoned the practice of including an image with every blog post. But decided to see what DALL-E would come with for this post.
