I've got to get the house ready for company, on Monday, and do a WHOLE lot of cooking and baking. Probably best if I'm not in a negative energy mode - especially when baking.

and I have no problem knowing what's going on in the world. I keep on being amazed at those here who apparently watch the various news channels 24 hours a day.

while we continue to have both TV and cable service. I watch no more than about 10 minutes of CNN per week and I find that I am very much able to stay informed.

We're all better off to ignore the noise and spend time with family and friends. Check in with DU from time to time and you'll see the important stuff, that's what I do.

Enjoy your holidays!
