Actually, I haven’t noticed much of a change except that I don’t know the details of what’s wrong in the world. I still know about problems all over. And I’m getting to think that most of my stress comes from my own life, not from outside. I’m going to leave it up in the air as to whether this is a good or bad thing.

I’m having an interesting time finding the line between current events and other writing. For example, a scholarly paper talking about the potential benefits of different forms of economic stimulus; current events, or no? It’s certainly timely, but I don’t think it’s news. Maybe I’m looking for loopholes.

Have a nice day, okay?
