Celebration.

Today is my husband’s birthday. I won’t mention any details about which century we’re talking about here, but he’s having a wonderful day of retired life and the family is making a cake and dinner for the festivities.

The celebration began this week and shall continue through the weekend. I’m looking forward to a little adventure with him.

News.

Two articles from blogs I follow up popped up today with pretty much the same advice: stop reading the news all the time.

If you’re of a certain age, you were probably taught in school to keep a log of current events or some sort of similar activity. This made you an informed person. But if you’re of that certain age, that’s when the likes of Walter Cronkite and John Chancellor shared the news for 30 minutes every evening. There was no battle for clicks or emotional responses to keep that advertising money flowing to the network.

Take a look at these two blog entries. They may just make things a little more bearable.
