There are two ways to be in complete oblivion as to what is happening in the world.
One: travel with small kids. It's difficult to keep up-to-date on news when you're trying to keep a small toddler entertained on a flight, and when you collapse into your hotel bed after a day of trekking (in our case in a city over the past three days).
Two: kids' kindergarden and school vacation. I'm currently in this for a week for autumn break, and I can forget sitting down with the newspaper for more than half an article, or spending any real time online, other than to play the Cars movie trailer for the hundredth time (two-minute trailers are a nice length for toddlers, I find - and note that I do NOT play it hundred times consecutively...).
I'm tired. I am happy if I have showered and managed to check my email. I have absolutely no idea what is happening in the world.
