Vacation..
So, I’m in Vail and have been since Tuesday evening, on vacation, which explains why I’ve been silent for about a week. I’ve got to admit that I have a very hard time being disconnected. Not being able to check email, read up on recent news or IM friends leaves me feeling out of touch. But, at the same time, I recognize that it’s not entirely healthy to ALWAYS be connected and available. Every once in a while I need to shut things off and just veg out with my brain only working on 2 or 3 things at once instead of 10.
What I find most interesting about my inability to disconnect is the increased amount of time it’s taking me to transition into "vacation" mode these days. It used to be just a one day period, I think, where I could leave connectivity behind. Now, having been out for about 3 days, I still find the need to get online and check email etc (and yes, post blog ramblings..). With mobile capabilities continuing to grow, I imagine there’s a day soon where I’ll just have to leave my cell phone at home when I’m trying to really disconnect. Fortunately though, when you’re barrelling down the mountain, it’s pretty hard to check email on your phone, no matter how good the apps available are 
Good point.. back to the slopes.
