Some of you might recall that I blogged about my life becoming simpler, less complicated than before.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Well gang, I’ve discovered that a simple life can get even simpler. I don’t have much to say today about what’s going on in the world of hard news.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Yep. Simplicity is a good thing. At least it is for me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I get to devote blog topics to, oh let’s see, about blogging. This particular avocation does require a certain devotion to the news. I follow it some, but not so much these days in newspapers, or in standard commercial broadcast media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The foolishness at CBS News recently has driven me away from that network’s news team. Yes, I know it still has dedicated professional journalists who risk their lives each day reporting on warfare and street crime. The shitty termination of Stephan Colbert from late-night TV and Scott Pelley from “60 Minutes” is too much to swallow. Even for me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So … the simple life beckons. I hear its siren call. I’m in all the way.<\/p>\r\n\n
