In a funk

I've been preoccupied with several matters (work, family, volunteering) and have had little chance or time to ponder, much less post, about the news of the day and the like. It occurs to me that, to the regular (ie; non-political) person, this is the norm. There is plenty to worry about and deal with before one comes to the point of thinking about those matters that seem so uncontrollable by an average citizen. It is what it is and we just struggle to get by in the short term. Thus, focused on the day-to-day goings on, big pictures aren't even seen because we're living our lives through a zoom lens.

UPDATE: I guess that's another way of saying I wish I could've made the AR roundtable tonight!
