It seems to me -- feels to me, really -- like one healthier choice should be to opt more for the printed word and somewhat less for on-line content. Here's what a dinosaur I am: well over 90% of my on-line time is devoted to reading. So far as I'm concerned, the interweb is the new public library, in a way. All those magazines, with POVs that run counter to my own. Must read. Of course, it doesn't take too long before I feel insulted by what I've encountered, thus sending me on the search for sympathetic voices raised in a chorus of thoughtful response.
But there are many forms of insult; devote enough time and energy to the people who ought to have your back, and you'll discover exactly what I mean and return to your corner to lick your wounds.
The corner by the bed is where I keep my books. So, more page-turnin', less link-clickin'.
Such is the intention, at any rate. As for this blog, I intend to keep last year's resolution and update it on a weekly basis, at the least.
You're a sweetheart for reading -- thank you, and happy new year!

I love how your books are spilling over. I need to read more books... my time is being stolen by my phone. I feel robbed. I'm the one in control, though! We'll see what happens.
It's always the phone, isn't it? Good luck with that, Su!
Looking forward to reading more posts in the coming year then! Good luck
Back atcha, Joel. Keep it up, man.
