I Vant to Be Alone
No blog last week since I was out of town. Thought I carried my computer with me, I never turned it on. I wasn’t back on line ‘til Tuesday. At that point I was very far behind, and a bit reluctant to turn it on for fear of having my wrist slapped for my absence.
I find it very easy to give up email, cell phones and other “handy” devices for a day or so. Returning to them is overwhelming. I had 300 emails. Many could be ignored but a few needed answers two days before I read them.
Access to such devises makes life move faster, and I’m not sure I want that. I’d like to slow down and not be there when others call, because they must, to find out what I am doing now. Or to tell me what they are doing.

I'm right there with you today, KB. I took last week mostly off and I have over 200 unread emails. I was chopping at them here and there over the week, but not sitting down and clearing them out. Now I pay! Is the internet a boon or a curse??? Both, I guess.
