While We Were Away

We're back at the computer after a week away along the Rhode Island coast and Block Island.

We'll talk about that in a next entry.

For now it is interesting to see how intwined our lives have become with the computer.
Email was not accessed for five days. Nor were any entries made to this blog. It was quite diferent - at once refreshingly liberating and discomforting.

For better or worse, we are now back.

Here we make note of some of what struck us while away.

Of course, the horrific and tragic bridge collapse in Minneapolis tops the list. Our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted by this event.

We also acknowledge some passings while we were gone: Football coach Bill Walsh, TV interviewer Tom Snyder, Ex-Baseball player and coach Bill Robinson and the creator of the "Pepsi Generation" advertising campaign (Alan M. Pootasch, Pepsi's coordinator with advertising agency BBDO).

Now back to business as usual.
