It really is important, even if difficult to unplug every now and then. I did it myself not too long ago and came up with some really interesting thoughts while my mind idled down: An Unplugged Perspective http://www.messagingtimes.com/blog/?p=318 I encourage both of us, and others to do it more often.

I was working 12-hour days and lived in a city that I had just moved to — there was so much work to do at anytime, that it was difficult to commit myself to “working on building friendships with 2 hours tonight” rather than work 2 more hours.

But i had to find out that other people are different than me (yes!) and they are more patient than me. And can take it when i take some days off. You should do this more often. Tho we were a little bit bored without any news from you in TC.

On another topic, why is it all the scams, confidence games, spams, and flim-flam outfits always seem to be from Florida? Anyway, welcome back.
