Seeking Sobriety

I suppose I consider myself a reasonably well-informed sort of chap. So it's extremely sobering to remind myself once in a while just how wide of the mark this perception is. Case in point: only last December as we were counting our euros in gay Paree I was telling the missus what good sense the currency made in terms of the stability it could afford to smaller nations who'd got on board. I think my pontifications sort of impressed the poor, misguided girl, and I'm hoping she doesn't remember too much of them now.

Mind you, I'm also aware that though I know so little, it happens to be more than most folk manage. Which is kind of funny and scary at the same time.
