i wanna disconnect

Walking through the skyway to the gym this afternoon, I noticed how many people are plugged in as they walk:  headphones, either listening to music or talking to an invisible phone.  They don't notice people passing them.  I, on the other hand, must be a lot more sociable than most people:  I want to smile and say hello to strangers.  People might think I'm a little loopy if I did that too much, I guess.

...I wouldn't mind having a few days away from it all:  the cell phone, Facebook, the computer.... although what about my blog streak if I did that?  I'd need to get somebody to cover for me -- maybe my son Jon or my niece Ruthie.. My readers need a fresh slant anyway...
