Wish I could but I've been such a raging news junkie for so long it's a tough habit to break.

The Indivisible work we do on our Research & Writing team kinda keeps me tethered to it.

I always kinda feel like, if our side were an army marching through some territory, my position would be toward the tail end of the marchers. On alert as the group moves forward to head off attackers seeking to get us from the sides and behind, or catch up to us and chase us down.
