Switch

Summer heat brings out the best and the worst in me, and I've noticed the same trend in others.  Tempers seem short and time slips away at alarming speed when deadlines must be met.  I often forget to take a few minutes and just relax.  Online games pull me to the laptop a couple of times a day, and while that provides a bit of mindless relaxation under the air conditioner, some posts or non-posts there can be a bit disturbing.  I'm thinking it's better to spend my quiet time on the back porch with a good book.  Do you ever wonder about turning off all the electronic media and going dark?  These days, I do...a lot.
