You mean there’s life without internet access?

My wife and I stopped TV nearly 20 years ago…WOW…all of a sudden we had TIME!

Enjoy your new-found time!

AMEN!!

“Nobody will ever care…how SEO-optimized my blog was.”

Love that line — hits home because I’m starting to obsesses over all that now. Perfect.

Wow, a brave move.

So agree with you about not going through the pain/hassle/occasional enjoyment of learning about *yet another* web-based ‘tool’.

Use it when it suits, try and switch off when possible.

And it sounds like this is giving you that break to do something more creative and productive, rather than online time-wasting. But do continue to share your thoughts, comments and cartoons…

Good for you, it’s all about balance. Love the new cartoon and couldn’t agree more!

That takes courage. Just spent 2 days with poet David Whyte who references the French origins from “Coeur” heart. The path with heart is ultimately the sustainable and authentically attractive way to be.

Blasphemy Hugh! You haven’t dropped the names of “A” list bloggers that you know (or wish you knew), offered listings of more “productive” crap to download or even attempted to sell us a 10 page ebook for $97 that is guaranteed to make us rich!

And now you’re NOT going to be on the Internet for 16 hours a day? Where’s the wealth, the multiple streams of income, the vast riches of social networking in that kind of behavior?

You’re just going to go out and dare to do what you enjoy doing?

Man, you are so twisted!

Less is the new more? I’m with you. Should/could set aside angst about learning Twitter’s Lists and Google’s Wave–and then, what’s NEXT?–and just concentrate on writing. (That’s what I do!)
