Still Off the News

I’m going into my third week of no news. I actively avoid it. It’s a bit of an effort, to be honest. My job requires that I’m very much up on the news. But that’s specific to my clients. It’s not national politics. It’s not op-ed and opinion pieces. It’s not the latest murder case. Guess what? I don’t feel that different. My mornings are more pleasant. And I can no longer enjoy “Wait, Wait..” on NPR on the weekends. But other than that, how am I worse off?
