My wife is the activist, so I leave donations to her. She’s also a politics junky, and gets herself all worked up over it. I told her that I’ll leave the national news on and excuse myself to a closed-door bedroom to read for that half hour. Rather than watch incendiary videos on YouTube, I will instead look at recipes or – at long last – pick up the guitar again. Anything else is background noise. Ommmmmmm. . . . .
