"I haven't been following the affair"

As I've enjoyed this #blogeverydayinjune exercise, and participating in it has brought up many ideas (mostly what I'd like to do, what I've yet to put in play,) I'm regretting not reading the thoughts of other participants and the Twitter stream and responding to it.  I haven't been following the affair, I'm afraid, although probably not to as extreme an example as this.  May not get many chances to post but I will keep trying.  Appreciate the opportunity and thanks for your patience and readership.
