Time Need Not Apply to Flight School...

Because it already knows how to fly.  Have you seen the date on my last post?  One thing that I will say for all this 2.0 technology is that it certainly makes you honest.  No hiding the fact that it has been 4 months (or so) since I have been able to get back to my writing endeavour.

In my partial defense, I was disconnected from the web (2.0 or otherwise) during most of December during the visit to my parents' technologically medieval dwelling.  They do have a telephone and something called a mailstation which is little more than a keyboard and an LCD display that lets you send text messages.  So, I must spend weeks before my visit pulling all the information that I might possibly need during my visit from the Internet; activities, children’s shows, museum hours, Google maps and reservations.  My arms tendons and my neck muscles like the break but the rest of me has problems adjusting.

Absolute technological emergencies are handled by my parents’ neighbor, Karen.  She comes to the rescue when all conventional (i.e., older) methods of acquiring information fail me.  Case in point was a live nativity scene that my daughter and I were interested in seeing out in the country.  Karen provided the printed directions and details from the Internet and we were able to find the farm, enjoy the carolers, the storytelling and the live nativity scene including a Donkey and two sheep from the StarGazing Farm. 

I guess this dampens my dream of returning to a simplier time when, they say, people had more time

-->.  For me, no access to the Internet means that everything I try to plan takes more time!
