1. The one news item which prompted a blackly humorous
response was too coincidental with recent unpleasant reports of an
international nature. Accordingly, the making of a humorous post struck me as
being unacceptably insensitive. Maybe I’ll make it when the international
situation has calmed down.
2. I’ve been too busy with phone calls and e-mails, one of
which was deep and meaningful.
I have two difficulties with e-mailing these days, which
are:
1. My hand-to-eye coordination is a little awry at the
moment (stress has that effect) and the keys on my old keyboard are sticky. These
two factors make typing a bit of a chore because I have to keep going back over
the message to change ‘evil’ to ‘live’ and adding missing letters so that ‘pouncing’
no longer reads ‘poncing.’
2. Writing deep and meaningful e-mails always leaves me with
the feeling that I’ve been guilty of both inadequacy and unwarranted
presumption. This is especially a worry when the intended recipient is a VIP
(the real sort, not the artificial royal, political, corporate or celebrity sort.)
Come to think of it, though, I did have one eye-roll moment
when I read the news. It said that Cameron and Obama had visited a school in Wales (the Pres
is over here for the NATO thing; Cameron is almost always here, unfortunately.)
Why do they do that sort of thing? We all know it’s just window dressing. It
isn’t the worst form of dishonesty in politics, but it’s a form of sorts.
