My level-headed and intelligent friend Saintseester said today that she hadn’t paid attention to the news for three weeks, which made me feel better about my dicey engagement with it over roughly the same period. She’s reporting positive effects on her well-being. I haven’t disengaged enough. But I’m going to, even to the point of destroying my current bookmark and home page settings.
I can’t remember what I’ve mentioned where, so I might have said this before, but I’m largely checked out until after the first of the year. Barring Armageddon (and we seemed to miss our best chance for that today), there are no world events I can imagine that will make me change what I’m planning to do day to day.
So why pay attention?
Have a good weekend.
