Ruthless Unplugged

Ceasing to blog for a few weeks is like not showing up to work day after day after day.

It's a little death, of sorts. Like slitting your digital throat. Cutting off your own air supply. Unplugging your ties to a big, wide world of imaginary friends.

But I had to do it.

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
William Wordsworth (1807)
I needed a break from the madness! I needed to commune with nature! To rake my yard! To play with my kids! To go on dates with my husband! (OK..."date")

Oh, and also? My computer crashed. There was that.

[And my new computer? Heh! She's a beaut. A technological masterpiece. A lightning fast, sleek and shiny, powerhouse of a STALLION! Gid-dy-up.]
