signal

It feels lately, as if I have run into a number of people that are overly wordy and long-winded with their explanations of this and that. I can certainly remember years ago feeling that in order to describe something clearly I had to cover all the angles and viewpoints with lengthy, verbose explanations.  Not sure [...]

  I love tech. I am not without fault for allowing myself to sometimes behave poorly by having all this e-muscle around, including my iPhone & iPad. Reminder to self and to others… the more high tech we get, the more high-touch we seek to balance it out with.
