day 2 me & Obama

Not too sure about my ability to spur interest or responses, yet, but was staggered to discover two people have viewed my introduction.
I guess I had better find out how  I can read others' musings...

Yesterday was Obama's second inauguration and I confess I did not watch it; although, politics is another of my interests - specifically, American, Canadian, British and European political activity..  I do try to follow world events in general because, as this piece of writing attests, we are increasingly interconnected in the world around us.. big world of course, not my small world surrounding me.

The BBC homepage is one of  my regular daily reads, but I do also have bookmarked other sources, Libyan, Australian, Indian newspapers.
Back to Obama, it was not any dislike of the man, quite the contrary, I like him, it is the tedious commentaries by the tv  announcers that get to me.
Decades ago, as a bachelor, I'd leave the tv on all day - more for company, so that the apartment was "artificially filled" with activity as I did other things. I have finally reached a stage where I can remain in my home without background material.
What does that say about me...
more ramblings soon.
