If there has been some cataclysmic event in the world this past week and a half, I am oblivious. Except for the Academy Awards, which I wouldn’t categorize as cataclysmic, I’m not on the cutting edge of current affairs. It feels liberating.
Here’s what I have learned, mostly by unintended osmosis.
Princess Katherine of Wales is under attack for not appearing in public, for supposedly doctoring a photo, and for being hush-hush about her surgical condition. King Charles is being lauded for his openness regarding his cancer diagnosis. But nobody seems to know what kind of cancer it is. How is that openness?
There were several state primaries held recently; but since the presumed nominees of both parties already have enough delegates to be chosen, what does it matter? In fact, why bother having the national conventions? Think of the money that would be saved, although I imagine the two host cities – Milwaukee and Chicago – would object because of the influx of tourist dollars.
The Supreme Court refused to take up some so-called important legal issue. Trump hasn’t been able to make bond. Russia held an election. There is an eclipse in early April. March Madness is upon us.
And Earl is eagerly awaiting the Notre Dame Women’s first game in the NCAA tournament this Saturday. In our world at the moment, this is the paramount event. Go Hannah!
