Oh Vermont…so jealous!

I’ve been trying to have “computer free Sundays” at our house. It’s been mostly good, expect for when I need a bit of information: how to make my favorite pudding, the hours to the library, a phone number. That’s when I realize how much I rely on getting info so quickly.

Welcome home!!!!! Two weeks in Vermont sounds like a slice of heaven. I’ve never been but can only imagine. It’s always nice to take a break from our technology driven world.

Going Internet-free is nice for short periods of time, but not something I would do all the time. I am too dependent on it for keeping in touch with friends and getting information. But I think the breaks give a chance to reassess which of that information I need and which I don’t.

It is nice to take an electronics break, isn’t it?

Sounds like a fabulous vacation!

(But the Internets are glad to have you back, too.)

Mm-hm. What a wonderful two weeks that must have been. I think that what works for me is chunks of internet-free time, interspersed with chunks of internet-obsessing times. I can’t do it in moderation. But those free chunks end up helping me be way more productive!

I’m glad you had fun and I’m even more glad you’re back. Perhaps I should go internet-free sometime as well.
