I actually do pay attention to the news from the UK. I get the daily email from The Guardian and follow it a little on Twitter (via an author I admire). The news in the U.S. is often so horrendous I'd like to avoid it, but I do follow the state news via email and phone app from a tv station in Macon; the local newspaper's daily email; and of course I get New York Times Morning and Evening Briefings and other NYT newsletters and try to read those faithfully.





I've been reading this past week about a missing mother and children from a county in this state. She is 16, the boy is 2, the girl is 1. So it struck me immediately she was 14 when her first child was born, 15 when the second was born. All three at that time were missing (since December), so it's possible she left voluntarily with her children, but to where? and how? It's also possible it wasn't voluntary at all. This past week the 2 children were found in New York City; which raises the questions: where? in whose care? how did they get from Monroe County, Georgia, to New York City? with whom? are they all right? WHERE'S THE MOTHER?
