Even I was in sensory overload with current events this week and that’s saying a lot.

Starting with the Golden Globe Awards, the death of David Bowie, the engagement of Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall, ten (10) U.S. sailors detained (and released) by the Iranian military, Obama’s final State of the Union address, the Academy Award nominations, the death of Alan Rickman, the first GOP presidential debate of 2016, Al Jazeera America pulls the plug on the network, three (3) people win the $1.5 billion Powerball jackpot, terror attacks in Jakarta and Burkina Faso, and global stock markets plunge into correctional territory re: volatility in China and emerging economies.

On an amusing note, the fashion-forward blue-and-grey striped paisley shirt worn by El Chapo during his interview with Sean Penn is selling out due to the high demand for kitsch and irony.
