Recently, I’ve been hanging out with old high school friends who’ve gone into law and government work, and thus are enmeshed with current events and politics. I, on the other hand, don’t read the news, and have no cable TV. They give me a lot of stick for my ignorance of what’s going on in our city, province and country, but given that those involve reading about Rob Ford, austerity budgets with no austerity involved, and robocall corruption, I’m content with my choice.
