I've decided to cut out the news. I mean change the channel. You see, I have this notion that the world is a good place. Children laugh. The sun shines. The birds sing. I think the news media has us convinced that the world is a dark, scary place, full of meanness and deceit. I get it. There is evil in the world. The balance of good and evil is necessary. Like any good citizen, I need to be on neighborhood watch and the world is my neighborhood. Yet, it appears that most of the news that is reported is bad news. What is the fascination? Why does the local news start off with at least 5 bad news reports? Is the world really such a horrible place and am I in denial? I feel like the news media is choosing what I see and hear. That it is deciding what is important. I want to decide for myself. So, I'm turning off the bad news for a while. Any thoughts?

YOLO
Early retirement gave me the opportunity to lead a calmer,
more reflective life. This blog is an opportunity to share some
of the questions I have about life in general with you. Obviously
I know nothing about the technical part of building a blog, but
should that keep me from trying? YOLO-you only live once. So the
journey begins. What about you? Are you having a YOLO experience?
