We’re back from two weeks in Panama. Laundry is done but thousands of photos await processing. I’m popping in to explain my continued absence from social media.

There was an unexpected benefit to being out of the country. For over two weeks I have heard NO NEWS about the US except how cold it was while we were sweltering in the jungle.

Think about the media you absorbed in the past 24 hours, about the conversations you have had in the past week. I have had NONE of that. Don’t blame me for staying out of the Real World a little longer. It’s true that ignorance is bliss.
