Lack of communication

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

We didn’t get back from the in-laws until late yesterday evening. With all the wedding stuff and all the various family members to visit with (They are a big, Southern family, there’s a bunch of them, and they all love to tell stories!!) I never even fired up the laptop all weekend. In fact, I did a quick scan of email last night before bed, which was the only online activity I had between leaving work Friday and arriving this morning.

Angela asked if I was getting jittery from lack of online activity, but you know, it actually felt good to be away for a time. 😉
