Maybe not being able to pursue every half-baked notion that flickers across my mind is a good thing.
I remember someone talking about snail mail with much nostalgia, saying that the process allowed for real and meaningful contemplation; not this shooting from the hip reality we all must now somehow navigate.
Maybe this is some kind of sour grapes syndrome.
Either way... never pay an unreasonable amount for wi-fi.
