A nice combination of pursuits.

I’ve lost faith in the news media. For which I used to work. For many, many years. As a writer. Of politics, features and breaking news.  An assortment of subjects.  Stuff I considered pertinent. Not necessarily to entertain. But rather to inform. About the intricacies of life. I’m retired. Which is just as well. Gives me a degree of independence. To write. And think. As I see fit. In new-found roles as philosopher, psychotherapist and my own muse. And not least, a critic of the media. A nice combination. To add to my longtime pursuits. As romantic idealist, spiritual free-thinker, political liberal, lover and dreamer. --Jim Broede
