I unplugged for 10 days and survived

My last post I mentioned I was going on a trip and cell phone and lap top was not going.

TSA wanted to know where my phone was? " at home, I am on vacation". I reached for my phone absently minded 3 times the first day, bored thought I would check emails. Just a mindless habit. From there on no more thought about any of it. I was on vacation, similar to the ones I took as a kid with the whole family in the 70's.

When I reached home I still did not  start my phone or check emails. On Monday, the day I said I would return messages, I grudgingly turned them on. I survived and will do it again! Everyone should try it! You will find it relaxing and  bummed about how dependent we have become. What say you?

So are you happy to be back Rob D. Shepherd !!  I have done just that from time to time. The first day it takes a few times looking at emails and then it's - I'm out of there. A couple of years ago I said - this online thing is out of control and needs to end. And guess what, I survived very nicely and love it too. No more FB and a bunch of other platforms.  AR is still on my list!
